• NO CHEAP SHOTS!
• In this novel, as in life, nothing is either

  been easy to offer a blatant indictment of the
  Ewells crime, the towns bigotry, Aunt
  Alexandras narrow-mindedness, Dolphus Raymonds
  eccentricity, Mrs. Duboses nastiness and drug

  counterbalances the evil with the good in order
  to portray the real complexities of life.
  Describe how each of these possible indictments
  are tempered by positive counterpoints. Why do
  you think the author always falls short of making
  outright indictments against the society being
  described? What do you think she is really
  trying to convey about they nature of bigotry and
  injustice?
