Key Examples in To Kill a Mockingbird
Chapter 9
Explanation and Analysis:
Despite the often grim circumstances characters are presented with in the novel (i.e. Tom Robinson's trial; poverty; discrimination), the events are interconnected by a thematic through-line of care and consideration for the dignity of all people. This is largely due to Atticus's influence. The result is a general mood of hope and perseverance.
