At one point while the townspeople are trying to decide who the real Wilks brothers are, Huck says "anybody but a lot of prejudiced chuckleheads would a seen" that the duke and king are frauds. Do you think this characterization of the townspeople is accurate? Why or why not? Provide a direct quote from the novel.
This characterization isn't accurate for all of the townspeople as evidenced below.
They made the king tell his yarn, and they made the old gentleman tell his'n; and anybody but a lot of prejudiced chuckleheads would a seen that the old gentleman was spinning truth and t'other one lies. And by and by they had me up to tell what I knowed. The king he give me a left-handed look out of the corner of his eye, and so I knowed enough to talk on the right side. I begun to tell about Sheffield, and how we lived there, and all about the English Wilkses, and so on; but I didn't get pretty fur till the doctor begun to laugh; and Levi Bell, the lawyer, says:
"Set down, my boy; I wouldn't strain myself if I was you. I reckon you ain't used to lying, it don't seem to come handy; what you want is practice. You do it pretty awkward."
