Reading Comprehension Context
Directions: Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow based on the options provided.
Critics of Mark Twain's novel Huckleberry Finn view the protagonist's proclamation "All right, then go to hell" in chapter 13 as the story's climax. Twain's novel lent itself to such radical interpretations because it was the first major American work to depart from traditional European novelistic structure, thus providing critics with an unfamiliar framework. The remaining twelve chapters act as a counterpoint commenting on, if not reversing, the first part in which a morality play receives greater confirmation. Huck's journey down the Mississippi represents a rite of passage, in which the character's personal notions of right and wrong come into constant conflict with his socially constructed conscience by the various people and situations the protagonist encounters.

The novel's cyclical structure encourages critics to see the novel's disparate parts as interlinked; the novel begins and ends with the boys playing games. Granted, this need not argue to an authorial awareness of novelistic construction; however, it does facilitate attempts to view the novel as a unified whole. Nevertheless, any interpretation that seeks to unite the last few chapters with the remaining book is bound to be tenuous. This is not because such an interpretation is unnecessarily rigid, but because Huckleberry Finn encompasses individual scenes of the protagonist's self-recognition that are difficult to accommodate in an all-encompassing interpretation. In this respect, the protagonist can best be linked to the Greek tragic figure, Oedipus.
The author most probably mentions the novel's cyclical structure in order to:
