As we know, Mark Twain was born in 1835. It was the time when the society was mirky. People became unsatisfied with the society. As a result, some intellectuals conveyed their disappointment by writing novels, in which they created characters that were totally disobeying the social rules and a world that was absolutely different from the recent one. They were called the critical realist writers. Mark Twain was one of these talented writers. In the Adventure of Tom Sawyer, he pointedly exposed the hypocrisy of American democracy and freedom, and criticized inherent social drawbacks in the capitalist country-the United States, such as racial discrimination, worship of the feudal autocracy, the hypocrisy of the churches, aggression, and expansion and so on. He expressed his yearning for the real democracy and free life. Mark Twain described the young childrens mental world vividly. In addition, he used the humor gimmick flexibly to satirize the society at that time, and thrash on some of the social evils. The authors satire and humorous language characteristic were showed incisively and vividly in this novel.Key words: Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain, realism, romanticismThe Interpretation of the Adventure of Tom SawyerThe Interpretation of the Adventure of Tom Sawyer1.
