Analyzing Twain´s The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg and The Mysterious Stranger

A mysterious man walks a humble village hidden in the mountain and knows nothing about many things. Then, this mystery lets villagers understand truth, good or bad. Mark Twain used such scenes in many of his works, such as abusing the people of Hadley, defiling strange strangers. Both stories are concentrated in small towns, residents forget their moral hypocrisy. Suddenly a stranger spreads knowledge that causes several residents to make a series of events that will self-evaluate their personality and the character of the whole humanity.

Mark Twain, like a fable in the Bible, showed a human error in "people who fell in Hadley Castle". Unjust people are punished, and if there are legitimate people it is also admired. Mark Twain's "Corrupted Hadley Fortress" is a contemporary allegory resembling the biblical story and metaphor.

In "Fragile Hadley Fortress", Mark Twain investigated many of the weaknesses of humanity. Fort Hadley is a small town known for its honesty and honesty, praise and envy until people corrupt and get out of the weakness of individuals and communities as a whole. Faithfulness, greediness, temptation are the best examples of human weakness. More of these three buds, sum of rot. Dishonesty is a very common phenomenon through stories. Richards has problems in deciding which secret to keep and which secret to tell. His first cheating occurred before the actual time of the story when he decided not to testify on behalf of Mr. Bergs to prove his innocence. Even if he warns him to leave the town, it could save Mr. Burgess's life, he still sworn this innocent secret.

At the end of his life, in Ten Years of Turmoil, Twain - perhaps understandable - became increasingly painful and tiresome. In 1899, he talked a bit pessimistically to a man who eroded Hadley Castle, talked about a stranger who claimed to be honest in blatantly and was forced to contend for hypocrisy. It includes $ 40,000 baggage. Among the posthumous novel "Mysterious Stranger" Satan obviously removed civilians from the Austrian town of the 16th century - its name is Esseldorf translated as "Aswell". Here, the devil led the priest to corruption and madness, betrayed several children, eventually leading to an earthquake that robbed 500 lives. Robert Keith Miller wrote in his book that Robert Keith Miller calls a mysterious stranger "the most important Twain short story, the most disliked person".
