To Kill a Mockingbird Q&A
- 1
Was Tom guilty of rape?
No, he was not. However, the jury that convicted him was driven solely by racism and prevailing attitudes of the time.
- 2
Where did the objects found in the tree come from?
These were from Arthur “Boo” Radley. They were intended to bring joy to the children, and by extension, to Boo as well, even if Boo was unwilling to confront the world outside of his house.
- 3
Is Boo a monster?
No, the imaginations of children constructed the image of a monster. He had been judged prematurely, by children with no actual knowledge of his actual character or behavior.
