What is the role of tolerance and courage within the novel?
Tolerance and courage plays a role in the novel when the Finch family stands out against society in Maycomb. This happens when the Atticus decides to defend Tom Robinson, a black man, against the Ewells, a racist white family. Tom Robinson and the Finch family have to have courage in many instances throughout the book, one specifically is the court room scene. Atticus argues against people who think Tom Robinson should be guilty, even when the odds are stacked against him. When it comes to tolerance, Jem and Scout have to do what their dad says, even if they don't like it. Atticus has to tolerate people like Bob Ewell and Mayella Ewell who are disrespectful towards him for defending a black person. These are some ways tolerance and courage plays a role in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird".
