3.1.1. 'Entailments seemed all right enough for livingroom talk' pg 165 (I)
3.1.1.1. When the men come to beat Tom Scout decides that the situation needs some friendly conversation. It is not until later that she realises what was actually occuring. Scout is herself a metaphor for innocence
3.2. Prejudice
3.2.1. ‘One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.’ pg 294 (I)
3.2.1.1. Scout learns much from her father throughout the book. It is this lesson of standing in a mans shoes that is a major theme throughout the book. If Scout had not learnt this lesson then she may have some of the prejudices that other characters have. This lesson allows her to understand the injustice associated with the case but also allows her to know why there was injustice. It also allows her to be free of judgments towards Boo by the end of the book.
