Description
To Kill a Mockingbird :
“This case is something that goes to the essence of a man’s conscience. I couldn’t go to church and worship God if I didn’t try to help that man.”
One of the defining lessons for Jem and Scout Finch is that it is important to adhere to your conscience. Atticus believes that morally, and legally, he must defend Tom Robinson against the charges of raping a white girl, Mayella Ewell. He knows that he is likely to fail because it is rare for an African-American, in a racist town like Maycomb, to be accorded legal justice, but this does not deter him. He states, “the one thing that does not abide by majority rule is one’s conscience.” Why Atticus?
