Question

To Kill a Mockingbird

TKAM chapter 16

Atticus gets angry with Aunt Alexandra when he says, “Maybe if we didn’t give them so much to talk about they’d be quiet?” (210). What do you think this means? What does this show you about the cultural climate of Maycomb?

Calpurnia harbours a lot of prejudice against blacks. She thinks that Calpurnia should not be privy to family talk because "they" (blacks) talk among themselves. Atticus retorts that whites give them a reason to.
