Miss Maudie and Uncle Jack are siblings, with Miss Maudie being Scout and Jem's neighbor in "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Uncle Jack being their uncle. They have a close relationship and are both important figures in the children's lives.
Jem's snowman creation is unacceptable because it resembles a racist caricature of a black person, known as a "snowman with tilted eyes" in the book. Atticus and Miss Maudie are both morally conscious individuals who are against racism and discrimination, and they recognize the harm and offensiveness of such a depiction. They understand the implications of perpetuating racial stereotypes, especially in a town still grappling with racial tensions.
Miss Maudie is a kind, understanding neighbor who serves as a positive influence on Scout and Jem, while Mrs. Dubose is stern and critical. Miss Maudie is supportive of the children's curiosity, while Mrs. Dubose is judgmental and often scolds them. Both women, however, share a sense of independence and strong moral values.
Atticus demonstrates his ability to "see well" throughout the novel by showing empathy, fairness, and understanding towards others, despite societal norms or prejudices. This is best exemplified in his defense of Tom Robinson, where he sees beyond the racial biases of the town to fight for justice and equality. By embodying these values, Atticus serves as a moral compass for both his children and the community.
Miss Maudie grew up with Atticus and his brother Jack. There is a familiarity about her to the kids, and to go along with the "moral themes" in the novel, Miss Maudie represents southern womanhood without being as conventional as Aunt Alexandra... Scout understands her...
They say her flowers and her are going to Hell, because she spends too much time outside. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are disgusted at the fact that Miss Maudie does not act in the way a Foot washing baptist lady should -- their image is of her wearing a dress, indoors, reading the bible. Instead, Miss Maudie wears overalls and goes outdoors to grow flowers. Therefore, they remark quite rudely that she and her flowers are "going to Hell". One particular footwashing baptist went so far as to imply to Miss Maudie that she was being very vain by utilizing God's outdoors so much and spending so little time reading the bible that she would, after death, "departeth in darkness" or "go to Hell". When Miss Maudie cleverly gave another part of the scripture to rebuke this comment ("A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance") the woman was shocked that Miss Maudie knew so much of the scripture, and had also embarassed her by implying that her heart was dark, so she departed in haste. The footwashing baptists underestimate Miss Maudie's command of the scripture because of the image she showcases to them, and Miss Maudie too knows that she will never be able to change the ways they interpret the bible- literally, which she believes is wrong, so she remains ostricized from their community and they both have equal disapproval for each other.
Miss Maudie and Mrs. Dubose are both strong-willed, opinionated women in Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Miss Maudie's house fire in "To Kill a Mockingbird" symbolizes both destruction and rebirth. The fire destroys her physical home but allows her to rebuild it even better, symbolizing resilience and the ability to overcome adversity.
