In Chapter 12 of Harper Lee’s, To Kill a Mockingbird, there are many events and situations in which irony is used to support the theme of the chapter. An example of this is in the very beginning of the chapter, when Scout is concerned about how distant and moody Jem is acting, and asks Atticus, “’Reckon he’s got a tapeworm?’” (Lee 153), to which Atticus replies no, and that Jem is growing. This is dramatic irony because the readers understand that Jem is acting oddly because he’s growing, but Scout doesn’t know this until she asks Atticus about it. This quote supports the theme of Chapter 12 by showing when Jem started to grow distance from Scout, getting aggravated with her and telling her to stop bothering him, and shows how the children
The game that the children created in Chapter 4 of Harper Lee’s, To Kill A Mockingbird, shows how the children are picking up on the ignorant words the adults are saying about the Radleys and whether they are acknowledging it or not, the children know the game is wrong. For example, in the book, it says, “When Mr. Nathan Radley passed us on his daily trip to town, we would stand still and silent until he was out of sight, then wonder what he would do to us if he suspected” (Lee 53). When the children stop playing the game, it shows that they know they shouldn’t be playing it and that it’s wrong because they don’t actually know the Radleys. This leads into how ignorance is affecting the world. People are being prejudice towards others without
When they start out, they hate her, even stating in chapter 11 that they hate her. Mrs. Dubose drools, her house smells repulsive, and she doesn't seem to listen to Jem reading to her while still insulting them. For Scout and Jem, they don't like her, but soon understand why she is the way she is. Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict and decided to get out of addiction before she died. Atticus reminds them, “‘She’s an old lady and she’s ill.be a gentleman.
When Scout feels like it is impossible for Mrs. Dubose to tolerate Atticus, whom she has insulted before, it shows that Jem and Scout perceive Mrs. Dubose to be odious and hateful. This ultimately shows that Jem and Scout understand only what Mrs. Dubose appears to be, and not what she is really going through. After Mrs. Dubose died, Atticus went to inform Jem, which is when Atticus explains what she really went through, and why she was always having rude fits. Atticus said, “ ‘Mrs. Dubose was a morphine addict. She said she meant to break herself of it before she died, and that’s what she did” (127).
Shortly after, they soon find out that Mrs. Dubose had fits because she was a morphine addict. Her character can be further developed when Atticus discloses, “‘She said she was going to leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody. Jem, when you’re sick as she was, it’s all right to take anything to make it easier, but it wasn’t all right for her. She said she meant to break herself of it before she died, and that's what she did’” (Lee 127).
According to Atticus, Mrs. Dubose had taken morphine and became an addict. She was trying to get off the morphine until she had died. Oftentimes her assistant Jessie would tell the kids that she was in need of her medicine for her condition. Atticus believed that because of her condition, he felt it was best that Jem read to her and distract her from the pain of morphine and addiction and ease her way into death. 12.
In chapter 22 of “To Kill a Mockingbird” many things happen. The entire chapter is eventful through and through with twist after twist. Its entertaining with a hint of sadness, and it has the following: Jem was upset because of the trials turnout, Aunt Alexandria became dejected when Atticus returned home from court, Atticus says Maycomb is as racist as a “Missionary Tea”, and they wake up to a so called “colored breakfast”. Jem became a weeping ball of bleakness because of the trial. Jem, who is the oldest child of Atticus Finch, went to the trial to back his father.
Mrs. Dubose is an elderly, ill, racist woman who lives near the Finches. She is very rude to both Scout and Jem, and whenever they walk past her house she says something insulting towards them. Not only was she disrespectful and heinous towards the children but she would call Atticus unacceptable names. One day when Jem and Scout were walking past her house Jem just snapped.
In the passage Jem and Scout walk home during the dark hours,giving Bob Ewell an opportunity to stage an attack. As Bob Ewell attacks them Boo Radley rushes in to rescue Jem and Scout. After this Scout now understands what Atticus meant it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. The killing of a mockingbird is much like killing the innocent. It is beyond a crime and worse than the most heinous atrocities.
