"It's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you." - Atticus Finch
Notes
Set in the racially charged atmosphere of the American South during the 1930s, the story is a poignant exploration of moral and social issues. At its core, the book follows the Finch family, particularly young Scout Finch, as they navigate the complexities of race, class, and justice in the town of Maycomb, Alabama. Through the perspective of Scout, readers witness the impact of her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer who defends an innocent African American man, Tom Robinson, accused of raping a white woman. The novel delves deep into the themes of prejudice, empathy, and the loss of innocence, all against the backdrop of a deeply segregated society. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers for its profound portrayal of human nature and the enduring struggle for equality and justice.
