Jack Burden’s moral education

Willie Stark Jack’s employer Some link him with Huey Long, governor of Louisiana from 1928-32

Huey Long Former governor of Louisiana His slogan “Every man a king.” Nicknamed “Kingfish” Candidate for President in 1935, but was shot

Although Warren drew from many sources, there are similarities between Willie Stark and Huey Long but. . .

Look at the novel as the story of the growth of Jack Burden rather than a biography of Huey Long.
