In "To Kill a Mockingbird" it seems evident that racism is taking a bigger role in the plot of the story. Racism goes into almost every aspect of the book into a certaint point. The concept of judging a person by the color of one's skin has popped up in the book multipule times. For example, when there at school Jem and Scout are called Nigger lovers or how the jury wrongly deemed Tom Robinson guilty when it was clear that he was not to blame for the so called "rape" of Mayella. It's more then obvious that Harper has made it a point to show just how exactly strong the presence racism was down in the south . She makes it impossible for the reader to be oblivious to how wrong these people our to other people who simply have darker skin.Another thing i found interesting was the charecter Dolphus Raymond who purposely makes himself look bad in order to keep the other people in town from bothering him. To go so far in order to get some peace seems rediculous. It just shows that people are incredibly harsh towards others when there diffrent. The fact that Dolphus goes as far as to lie about himself to get a shred of piece is proof that Dolphus not only knows this ,but decides its to much of a hassle to tell other diffrent from what they think about him.
