To Kill A Mockingbird Stereotypes Around the 1600’s many problems and conflicts had been happening, in today's society some of those problems are pretty much gone such as slavery and so on. But even today we face the same conflicts as before. In the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee a problem that is occurring is stereotypes. Stereotypes are a fixed idea of someone or something.

A powerful quote said by Atticus to Jem was the following: “[s]o far nothing in your life has interfered with your reasoning process.” (295).

Minnie’s quilt, the dead bird and its cage, and the kitchen show that living in a man’s world is not easy.

One of the most obvious characters used in the novel to depict isolated at its greatest extent is Crooks, who is described as an outcast separated from the rest of the men because of his race.

Crooks’ loneliness is implied through his belongings, but also admits to being so lonely as he says, “S'pose you didn't have nobody. S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy

It represents the innocent who were injured through contact with evil.

Is it fair that all of Robbie’s hopes and dreams were confiscated because of a 13 year old girl accusing him of a crime that was never proven to be true? In the book Atonement by Ian McEwan Briony is an adolescent in the beginning and does not understand the changes of adulthood.

Furthermore, Melinda criticizing her physical appearance is a sign of how she mainly criticized and changes her clothing or way of looking due to she had major physical damage of being raped making her don’t want to remember the “Melinda who was raped.” Also, this caused a huge emotional and physiological depression where she can’t stand alone; she needs to speak up. Lastly, the action of Melinda needing to put the mirror away just because she can’t bare herself is a sign of a deep depression because of the lack of confidence and battle between herself. This means Andy Evans sexually assaulting her was the reason for her depression at such a young

The only reason for this is because of the color of their skin. Black people were not respected, and were seen as dirty people that were up to no good. If they were just respected and had a chance to prove that they were normal people, a whole slave epoch could have been prevented. This problem with respect is still around

As the story progresses, even though they seem small at the time, these racial stereotypes have cruel and unfounded aggravation.

In a hollow smug hallway, Harper’s life changed in those two horrific minutes. She used all her force and power to escape, but he had a stronger grip.

Racial injustice in To Kill a Mockingbird was malevolent due to the executing of a black man with false evidence, but today the racial injustice appears to be eliminated although it still exists. Today the legal system will not tolerate the racism like it is in the book To Kill a Mockingbird. Racism is normal in Maycomb county some support it and others are against, the Finches are high in society, although they still respect the blacks. Racial injustice throughout the book is a big factor with Calpurnia as a maid, And Atticus defending Tom Robinson, but less of a factor for everyday life in modern times.

Just because someone is not the same as everybody else, does not mean that they should get picked on. In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird, I believe love is the central theme. Acts of love is showed throughout the story in many different ways. The ways Lee shows this is by showing love has no color, love someone even though they are not blood, and love someone even if they are different. Just because someone is a different color does not mean that they shouldn't be loved the same.
