Reword this sentence to make it seem less awkward?

Question

Context:Roxy fears her child "could grow up and be sold down the river". At the end of the novel, "the creditors sold him down the river" (1056). By following the conventions of society, Tom becomes corrupted by wealth and luxury. He ends up facing the fate his mother tried to avoid.Sentence: "He ends up facing the fate his mother tried to avoid."  Is there a way to say this less awkwardly? Or would you say its good enough and its just me thinking its not good enough. Another sentence:Although he initially pretended to kill people in his games with Tom, Huck realizes the brutality of violence. Thanks in advance!

The first sentence is OK. I would change the tenses in the 2nd sentence to agree. (either past or present, but not both)

AnonymousHe realizes the foolishness/overratedness of money.

Foolishness is a better word choice in the first sentence.
The second sentence is difficult to understand. Is this what you meant?

Although he was content being a pariah, society’s social obligations restricted him from being himself
(It still does not make much sense, since a pariah usually lives in isolation, and is not affected by social obligations)
