Hypocrisy in to Kill a Mockingbird

Hypocrisy is a huge theme of Maycombs society and community spirit. For example, racism plays a huge role. In the tomcat Robinson trial, he is accused of raping bobtail Ewells daughter, Mayella. But the real story is that Bob Ewell is abusive to his daughter and accused tom Robinson because hes black. Since the social community is mostly tipped on the scale of discrimination, there are excuses make for whites. This leads into another following example.In the minds of the good Christians blacks are insanee to be slaves and do everything a white patch says. Atticus is completely against this and tells Bob off. In retaliation, Bob Ewell makes it certain Tom Robinson is guilty. In the end Tom is purposed guilty even though the evidence clearly shows hes not. The Maycomb community thinks theyre doing whats right for the t consume and titles themselves The Good Christians. A few people, like Atticus, know they are wrong and knows they only(prenominal) persecuted Tom Robinson by the c olor of his skin.Another example of hypocrisy referring to racism would be with Mrs. Gates. Mrs. Gates is completely against Hitler intellection what he did was absolutely horrible about what he did to the Jews. But then again in her own community people are persecuting blacks the same way. Another example similar to this is Mrs. Merriweather talks about frugality the poor Mruans from Africa but thinks black people in her community are a disgrace. Scout and Jem throughout the book later discover the hypocrisy in the adult world.Some examples would be, Aunt Alexandrias view on the Cunninghams, Lula not wanting her kids to go into a black church etc Jem noticed the hypocrisy in the Lula blank space was Lula complaining about all white people being prejudice against them but in her abominate for whites and their prejudice she is also being racist and prejudice. Scout and Jem then noticed someone being mad at a certain race for doing the exact same thing they were doing.
