To Kill A Mockingbird as Historical Fiction

 

To Kill A Mockingbird

is based on a period in the USA which did exist and conditions have been historically noted. The key period, the Depression Era of the 1930’s, occurred after the great stock market crash of 1929. After this period people were without jobs and money was very scarce.

  As well as the main setting, some significant events did occur in the life of young Harper Lee and these are alluded to in the text of her novel:

Issues with racism and social stereotyping

Issues concerning the Scottsboro Trials

Issues with the KKK and mob mentality and brutality

Setting of To Kill A Mockingbird

Details of the exposition

Setting

: vivid description of 1930’s depression years, Southern Alabama, USA, (Maycomb). Racism was only one of the prevalent social prejudices.

Novel publication

: 1960. Racism still a very significant problem. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other activists existed all over the USA.

Slide5

Description of the town: Find statements which most aptly describe the setting of the novel. Show how they develop the atmosphere of the novel.

Maycomb

, some twenty miles east of Finch's Landing, was the county seat of

Maycomb

County."

"

Maycomb

was an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square.”

“Somehow, it was hotter then: a black dog suffered on a summer's day; bony mules hitched to Hoover carts flicked flies in the sweltering shade of the live oaks on the square..."

"People moved slowly then. They ambled across the square, shuffled in and out of the stores around it, took their time about everything. A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of

Maycomb

County. But it was a time of vague optimism for some of the people:

Maycomb

County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself.“

Setting quotes:

“Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum…There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County."
