Introduction
This coursework is dedicated to the study of socio political issues of Nelle Harper Lee 's famous novel "To kill a Mockingbird". Theme is very interesting and is worth of paying special attention. The reason for this is that To Kill a Mockingbird is both a young girl’s coming-of-age story and a darker drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice, probing how good and evil can coexist within a single community or individual. Scout’s moral education is twofold: to resist abusing others with unfounded negativity but also to persevere when these values are inevitably, and sometimes violently, subverted. Criticism of the novel’s tendency to sermonize has been matched by praise of its insight and stylistic effectiveness. Lee reportedly based the character of Atticus Finch on her father, Amasa Coleman Lee, a compassionate and dedicated lawyer and newspaper editor. The plot of To Kill a Mockingbird was inspired in part by his unsuccessful youthful defense in 1919 of two African American men convicted of murder, the only criminal case he ever took. One character from the novel, Charles Baker (“Dill”) Harris, is based on Truman Capote, Lee’s friend since childhood and next-door neighbour in Monroeville, Alabama. Lee served as the basis of the tomboy Idabel Thompkins in Capote’s first novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). In the winter of 1959–60, just before the release of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee journeyed to Kansas with Capote and helped him in the research for his “nonfiction novel” In Cold Blood, about the murder of four members of the Clutter family. After the phenomenal success that followed the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird and the lack of further novels from Lee, some suspected that Capote was the actual author of Lee’s work, a rumour put to rest when, in 2006, a 1959 letter from Capote to his aunt was found, stating that he had read and liked the draft of To Kill a Mockingbird that Lee had shown him but making no mention of any role in writing it. The novel inspired adaptations, the most notable of which was the classic 1962 film starring Gregory Peck as Atticus. His Academy Award-winning performance became an enduring part of cinema history. (Robert Duvall made his film debut as Boo Radley.) Aaron Sorkin adapted the novel into a Broadway play that debuted in 2018. (Lee’s estate sued over Sorkin’s adaptation in which Atticus rather than Scout was the main character, but the dispute was resolved before the play opened.)
