In the novel, Tom Robinson, a black boy is falsely charged of an attempted rape of a white woman. Because of this the whole white community surrounding Tom turns hostile to him. But Atticus Finch, a white lawyer attempts at the best of his capabilities to defer Tom’s case and to defend him. In this present research, the researcher has probed into this dual aspect of racism of white towards black people with a special focus on Atticus Finch and other whites.en-USSocial InjusticeAmerican societyThesis
