Our Theme
THEME
Life isn't always fair, and sometimes there isn't anything you can do about it.
Quote From the Story
QUOTE
"Let us leave it at this," said Atticus dryly. "You, Miss Scout Finch, are the common folk. You must obey the law." He said that the Ewells were members of an exclusive society made up of Ewells. In certain circumstances the common folk judiciously allowed them certain privileges by the simple method of becoming blind to some of the Ewells' activities. They didn't have to go to school for one thing." (pg 34)
What was happening?
WHAT WAS HAPPENING
This is when Atticus is explaining to Scout why shes has to go to school and Burris Ewell doesn't have to, and how life isn't always fair and doesn't always turn out how we want it to.
Additional Quote
QUOTE
“Which, gentlemen, we know is in itself a lie as black as Tom Robinson’s skin, a lie I do not have to point out to you. You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women—black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men."
Why is this important?
WHAT THIS MEANS
This quote is significant because the theme is relevant throughout the story, and the idea of unfairness is more prevalent in part two, during the court case.
The charters that are being introduced and developed (the Ewells) are also significant, because they are the ones who accused Tom Robinson of rape, in part two.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING
This is when Atticus was giving his closing argument to the court, after the they found Tom Robison guilty.
Analysis
WHAT THIS MEANS
This is significant because this is a major point in the story, when this theme is relevant. It has come to the point of Atticus having to bluntly say the reality of the case, which is that Tom Robinson is not guilty. They only find him guilty, because of his skin color, not what it actually right.
