Like Hawthorne, I believe that evil is the nature of man but that there are different magnitudes of evil; some choose to fight it, like Hester, and some choose to give in, like Chillingworth.

... bluejays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember its a sin to kill a mockingbird." (pg. 69) The mockingbird is a symbol for two of the characters in the novel: Tom Robinson and Boo Radley.

Because the mockingbird does not sing its own song, we characterize it only by what the other birds sing. Hence, we see the mockingbird through the other birds. In the novel, t ...

... of life. Melvil Dewey established the Dewey Decimal System as a logical way of classifying books in a library. His system classified books using the decimal system of notation. For example, a book about Buddhism would be labeled and classified with a number between 200 and 290 and a book on Hinduism would have a different number, but would also have a number between 200 and 290.
