”-”you little folks won 't tell on me now, will you? It 'd ruin my reputation if you did.” Mr. Raymond lives with black people and his kids and is sorta forced to fake being drunk all the time for having a black mistress. Nowadays who cares if you 're gay or interracial couple, back then however it was considered morally wrong because it the man or woman was black.
The citizens of Maycomb criticize Tom Robinson because he differs from society's cultural norm and because he is a different race which affects how society treats him. “You know how they are. Easy come, easy go. Just shows you that Robinson bou was legally married, they say he kept himself clean, went to church and all that, but when it comes down to the line veneer’s mighty thin. Ni**er always come out in ‘em.”
The people of Maycomb believe that it was because she was so distraught when finding out about the mistress. Mr.Dolphus Raymond is also the father to a few mixed children. In this chapter, Dill is very curious about Mr.Dolphus Raymond and asks Jem many questions. Jem continues to explain that blacks won't take them in, neither will the whites. Because even one drop of colored blood makes you a colored person.
Although it makes sense why he would want people to think of him as a drunk rather than have the whole town interrogate him. I don't think that Scout has ever gotten to know Mr. Raymond until now and already she has these strong feeling regarding him, and part of that could be because of the atmosphere she lives in. It is amazing how parents pass on their opinions to their children, even if they don't mean to, they should still monitor what their saying because children can be impressionable and they should be taught better than to judge someone based on what they see, hear or seem to be true. Scout referring to Mr. Raymond as a sinful man makes sense because in the time period this book is based you don't see a lot of interracial marriages, it is looked down upon.
but Coca-Cola.’ ” This quote shows how easily the people in Maycomb came to their own conclusions about Dolphus Raymond. Everyone thought that he had been drinking alcohol out of his paper sacks, just because of how he was hiding it and the way that he
This character possesses a powerful sense of insight about other people despite his seemingly strange behavior. He adheres to his values even though he horrifies the general population by living with "the blacks" and sympathizing with their plight. Mr. Dolphus Raymond exemplifies an upright man of great sympathy, insight, and peculiarities.
This all shows that Mr. Underwood's sense of justice is stronger than his hate for people of color. A third character who ends up being different than originally perceived is Mr. Raymond. Dill asks Jem why Mr. Raymond is drinking out of a sack. Jem says that it’s whiskey and he hides it so as to “not upset the ladies” (Lee 162).
It represents the innocent who were injured through contact with evil. Dolphus Raymond is identified as a mockingbird, and in his case, the prejudice that Raymond receives throughout Maycomb is his contact with evil. Raymond is constantly ridiculed for his lifestyle that is deemed unfit when it comes to Maycomb’s society. Raymond’s relations with African-Americans are looked down upon and prejudiced, but he does not let that overcome him. Instead, he learns to tolerate it by feigning alcoholism and tries to explain it to the children: “‘I try to give ‘em a reason, you see.
"They don't belong anywhere. Colored folks won't have 'em because they're half white; white folks won't have 'em 'cause they're colored, so they're just in-betweens, don't belong anywhere." (Ch.16, Pg.168) Mr. Raymond acted as if he was drunk so he that he wouldn't need to explain to anyone his love for a black woman. The alcohol, he said, gave the community of Maycomb a reason to say, he didn't realize what he was doing. These kind of relations were completely unheard of during this time.
This shows that Mr. Raymond is willing to live with this lie in order to satisfy his neighbors' need to understand his lack of racism. Just like the mockingbird he means no harms to anyone and wishes only to live in peace with his family. Furthermore, Mr Raymond symbolizes a mockingbird because he doesn't like to fight. For instance, when scout asked him why does he pretend he’s drunk, he says When I come to town, if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can say Dolphus Raymond's in the clutches of whiskey—that's why he won't change his ways. He can't help himself, that's why he lives the way he does" it indicates that Mr. Raymond's leads a double life instead of fighting for what he believes in.
Mockingbirds are beautiful, singing many songs. Showing up in many ways. They do nothing other than amuse and sing for listeners enjoyment, but why hurt them? Jeremy Finch, son of Atticus Finch, brother of Scout and a citizen of Maycomb. In the beginning Jem is ten years old and through the book ages three years and becomes thirteen.
We all know the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover.” That saying can directly relate into To Kill a Mockingbird as a main theme. Mr. Dolphus Raymond is a perfect example of how we don’t understand somebody until we step into his or her shoes. Mr. Raymond was seen as the town drunk and was said to be an evil man (Lee 267). Scout also talks about how Atticus and Aunt Alexandra probably wouldn’t approve of the kids talking with Mr. Raymond.
Meeting Mr. Raymond was significant for the children since it taught them a very important lesson in life. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is the important lesson here since they believed that Mr. Raymond was just a drunk man;however, he is a man that wants to live they way he lives. The children were shock that Mr. Raymond was not a drunk, just a man that acts that way. Another lesson is that sometimes you have to act like someone you are not. The only reason he pretends he drinks is that the people of Maycomb will not understand his way of living.
As the election of 1960 came to an end it saw Democratic nominee defeat Republican nominee Richard Nixon by a very slim margin. John F. Kennedy would go on to replace Dwight D. Eisenhower after his victory. President Kennedy would avoid controversial topics, such as civil right calling it a moral issue. Instead, he would focus on the issue of the Cold War. As he was campaigning for the election of 1960 he criticized President Eisenhower’s stance on foreign policy, accusing him of failing to reduce the threat of a possible nuclear war with the Soviet Union and also weakening America’s standing in the Third World (Norton, 763).
