ABSTRACT

 

Many critics have discussed the town of Hadleyburg as a “microcosm of America,” comparing townsfolk’s activities and personalities to various features of the American character filled with corruption and the belief that money is paramount to all things. Twain fills this work with poignant sarcasm which some believe is related to personal experiences in his later life. Twain walks readers through the story not only as readers but as participants so much that they become fully engrossed as willing participants and even decision-makers as they look upon this stranger who has invaded the lovely Hadleburg. Under Twain’s vivid descriptions, readers seem to be on the spot in the town hall witnessing this farce and wonder how this problem can be solved as fellow Hadleburgians. Twain’s scathing irony of human nature is fully experienced by all who read this remarkable tale.

 

Key words:The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg; Mark Twain; Irony; Human nature
