Examples Of Justice In To Kill A Mockingbird

Justice is usualy seen as an issue that has a set solution, rather than an issue based off a conditional sphere; it's viewed as an A to B process, rather than a complex mosaic that every individual may process differently. This creed can be developed within Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird”. The book is a sixties historical fiction that dives into the complexities and bias regarding the complexities of justice. The most prominent examples are found in chapters 16 and 17 when Atticus defends Tom Robinson, who's a black man accused of sexually abusing a young white woman.

Similarly, to Atticus, no matter who disagreed with me, I continued thriving for my safety, self-respect, and well-being; my future relied on
