he Duke and the King are a couple of con men that Huck and Jim meet on their way to Cairo. They claim to be royalty, but it turns out that they lied about who they are and are really just a couple of hoboes. I think it's ok for Jim and Huck to accept them because they have some money and are entertaing, which is good for morale. Huck and Jim can't be too critical of them becasue Huck and Jim are sort of like hoboes and they hide their identities when it suits them on their odyssey.

I agree with you OG. In my blog I discussed how Huck and Buck are sort of pulled to the Duke and the King because they are all hiding somethig inside of them, and they don't want the others to reveal their true identities.
