Conflict to ResolutionThis book is divided into two parts.
The first part introduced the major theme through minor vignettes. Follow Scout's interaction with all of the people of Maycomb to unlock what the essential conflict of the book is going to be. Although the second part of the book deals squarely and almost exclusively with Tom Robinson's trial, this is not a novel exclusively about race. This trial impacts Scout, Jem, and Dill's perceptions of Morality and Justice, but these themes have already been planted through the earlier vignettes in Part I. From conflict to resolution, the novel's major theme will finally be revealed in the last chapter...after Scout finally Crosses the Threshold and experiences her Apotheosis. |
