Huck enjoys the circus because it is pleasant relief from the king and the duke and the problems helping Jim escape. He loves seeing the costumes, acrobats and clowns. Ironically, Huck, who is somewhat of a con artist himself, doesn’t recognize a con when a supposed drunk insists on riding the horses.

The audience hated the comedy show because it was so short and wanted to lynch the king and duke, but they wanted the rest of the town to fall for the duke and kings prank, so they wouldn’t look like the only stupid ones and then everyone in the town could lynch the king and duke together.
