On one hand, the humorous plots and Mark Twines writing style or skill make readers impressed and make the novel well-known all around the world especially in the literary field, becoming a hot topic among researchers who make study on it. One the other hand, with the humorous way of description and the story content, the story reflects the current social background that people all went after money with cold face to the poor. If youre penniless, people dont really want to know you, let alone help you; but if you have money, then people will bend over backwards for you, even making it their business to seek you out. Mark Twain in American literature occupies a very unique and important position. Ambiguity of his work and personality has attracted many sides of generations of researchers.

Henry would not be easily able to exchange that note in the bank without being questioned about how he had come to it, charged with theft and arrested. He would also not be able to spend it since no ordinary person would be able to change it. Without knowing, Henry is the subject of a bet: Oliver believes that the mere possession of this symbol of wealth will enable anyone to have anything he wants, without actually cashing the note. Roderick, on the other hand, feels that the prohibition against exchanging the note for cash will render it totally useless. The story causes the readers to reflect upon the mad irony that people are willing to do things basically for free in order to toady to those who have money, rather than for those who actually need their charity. If youre penniless, people dont really want to know you, let alone help you; but if you have money, then people will bend over backwards for you, even making it their business to seek you out.
