Introduction to Key Quotes
Scene Summary and Context Guide: In Harper Lee's novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout Finch recalls her experiences growing up in Maycomb, Alabama during the 1930s. The story explores themes of justice, morality, and racial prejudice. One pivotal moment involves Atticus Finch defending Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused of assault. Throughout the novel, Scout witnesses many instances that reveal the prejudiced attitudes of the town and learns about empathy and understanding. The quote, 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view,' exemplifies Atticus's teaching about empathy. Another significant quote is, 'Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy,' symbolizing innocence and kindness, which are central themes of the novel.
