Harper Lee reveals how prejudice goes hand in hand with empathy, in the book To Kill A Mockingbird.

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the narrator, Scout, finds truth and compassion through personal encounters and through using the ethics that her untraditional yet wise father, Atticus, has taught her. She gradually strays away from the preconceptions that her town of Maycomb has planted into her mind and understands the world from a more broad perspective.

Maycomb, Alabama is filled with social people, who have held the same views of the world for years because of their lack of exposure to outside influence; consequently, they spread

“Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.” One of the major themes of Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, is that prejudice and racism can greatly corrupt a person and cause them to do evil things. In Harper Lee’s novel, Atticus Finch is a lawyer in Maycomb County, a small Southern town where racism and prejudice is common.

People are criticized and placed on the fringe of society for many different reasons, but the effect is all the same. Harper Lee noticed that the world around her had a very negative way of looking at people who were not perfect. She took action during the 1960s and wrote a book (set in the 1930s) that teaches a simple lesson: prejudice is everywhere. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee accurately displays prejudice within communities and people groups by using the ideas of racism, sexism, and social status.

In Today’s world racism isn’t as common as it was in the early 1900’s. Today’s Society views racism as a poison that is slowly killing our society. Though, most of the people saying it’s like a poison are the ones who are still hold prejudice viewings. To kill a mockingbird showed how most white americans viewed colored people, and how they were treated. During that time period, they had a social hierarchy, and they put any colored race at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Throughout the novel, Candide, Voltaire repeatedly exploits the nature of humans to consider other's situations and lifestyles to be better than that of their own. Voltaire uses Candide's journeys to portray the human assumption that the grass is always greener on the other side. This theme is shown in Candide's strife for companionship, his experience with wealth, and his interaction with other characters. The situations that develop the theme do so in such a way that the reader is able to understand and relate to the aspirations of Candide.
