To Kill A Mockingbird Reflection
To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, narrates an unbiased, non-filtered, and innocent viewpoint from that of Scout Finch. If the novel were to be rewritten from another’s perspective (such as Jem’s or Atticus’), the main concept of the book would be altered. The narrative of Atticus Finch would influence less of an impact; his knowledge and experience with the town of Maycomb would weaken the depth of Tom Robinson’s case. Just like Scout’s—Jem’s outlook would also call attention to the problematic practice of racism. However, his sense of understanding the immorality of it is more mature than her. His narrative would seem biased; which insinuates that Harper Lee would have written To Kill a Mockingbird to discriminate against racists.
Scout’s perspective has the ability to expose only the culture of racism, not to purposely defame racists. On account of him being aware of racism, Atticus’ point of view would terminate the concept of innocence that the novel frequently presents. He understands the way Maycomb County operates; therefore he knows the end result of his client, Tom Robinson, before the case has even begun. Knowledge of the outcome, consequently, weakens the impact that it provokes when there is faith that the people of Maycomb will make the righteous decision. In other words, Atticus’ narration is not able to accurately demonstrate the complete wrongness of Tom’s case, being that Atticus concludes the jury’s decision before they have one. His narrative would be corrupted; although he disagrees with racism, he has accepted that it is how the culture of his town is.
