These themes should be central messages the author is trying to convey about the thematic elements. Evil: It seemed that Mr. Ewell tried to kill or hurt Jem and Scout, but while he was trying to hurt them Boo Radley had stabbed Mr. Ewell. ( Lee 357). Mr. Ewell wasn’t right in the head and was trying to get even somehow. Boo Radley had done the right thing by protecting Jem, and Mr. Ewell was a horrible person by trying to hurt the kids. Innocence/Maturity: Jem was being mature and immature when he was disobeying Atticus. (Lee 203).

TKAMB chapters 15-17 S.I.R by Tri Nguyen 1. In chapter 15, Heck Tate’s mob wanted to talk to Atticus that Tom Robinson have been moved to Maycomb Jail, and that there might be trouble concerning Atticus and Tom Robinson. It stated on page 165, “Mr. Tate was saying, “I don’t look for any trouble, but I can’t guarantee there won’t be any . . .” This show that as the trial are coming nearer, the people are getting more impatient, and this would cause them to act violence not only to the Negroes, but also to their fellow kind. This also show that prejudice can change a person point of view, and make them think only about their superiority over Negroes even though some of them are no better than the Negroes themselves, like the Ewell and the Cunningham.
