This week we will continue to discuss literary elements in TKM. On Friday last I asked you to find the structural elements in TKM. Elements like flat and round characters, point of view, metaphors, similes, foreshadowing, personification, imagery, irony, theme, and conflict. We will discuss your findings in class on Tuesday. We will discuss symbols and symbolism in TKM. You will have discussion questions to work with a partner on and present to the class.
The GothicThe powerful forces of good and evil in To Kill a Mockingbird seem larger than the small Southern town in which the story takes place. One of the ways in which Lee adds drama and atmosphere to her story is by including a number of Gothic details in the setting and the plot. In literature, Gothic refers to a style of fiction first popularized in eighteenth-century England and featuring supernatural occurrences, gloomy and haunted settings, full moons, etc. Among the Gothic elements in the story are the unnatural snowfall, the fire that destroys Miss Maudie's house, the children's superstitions about Boo Radley, the mad dog that Atticus shoots, and the ominous night of the Halloween party on which Bob Ewell attacks the children. These elements, out of place in the normally quiet, predictable Maycomb create tension in the novel and serve to foreshadow the troublesome events of the trial and its aftermath.
