This study examines the use of literary devices in Mark Twain’s works and their role in representing American cultural identity. It analyzes key stylistic tools—such as metaphor, irony, simile, satire, and allegory—and demonstrates how they reveal the social, moral, and historical contexts of nineteenth-century America. Special attention is given to the cultural connotations embedded in Twain’s portrayals of freedom, racism, morality, and social inequality. The analysis shows that Twain’s artistic style not only enriches American literature but also shapes national cultural consciousness.
