Conflict of To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

SPOILER ALERT!A conflict between Atticus and the town is present. None of them (except a select few) believe Atticus is doing the right thing by defending Tom Robinson. They verbally assult him and Bob Ewell even physically assults his children. This is mainly fueled by predjudice which is a major theme in the book.
to kill innocence
You could argue that there is more than one conflict in To Kill a Mockingbird.

1. The loss of Jem & Scout's innocence throughout the trial.

2. Atticus's constant struggle to raise his children in an upright manor, especially with Aunt Alexandria constantly pressuring him.

3. The main conflict- the trial itself. The evidence in the trial really points towards the black man being innocent, but the fact that a white man and his daughter are accusing him of rape, the time period and character attitudes show that "a black man's word means nothing in the presence of a white man". The setting of the book really shows the social conflicts of the time. Atticus fights for the black man, which is a social disgrace, especially in the South.

I hope this helped, and made sense. ;)

Good luck!

Answer 2

The main conflict in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is the legal case where Atticus Finch, a lawyer, defends a black man, Tom Robinson, who has been falsely accused of raping a white woman. This conflict highlights the deep-seated racism and prejudice in the town of Maycomb, Alabama, leading to tension and moral dilemmas for the characters involved.

Answer 3

The main conflict is how Atticus Finch has to deal with racism and defend a black man and his children from it.

Answer 4

Liberal, humanistic values versus prejudiced, right wing beliefs?

I think it is man vs. man because its tom against bob.

Answer 5

One major conflict is that scout and jem have been through so many incidents and notice the bad in humans. They are having trouble in noticing the good in humans.
