Well, I'm not sure which Act and Scene you're asking for, so I'll give you one from Act I's prologue. "From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life." (line 6) The two foes are the Montagues and the Capulets, and what comes from loins? Babies! It's saying the children of these two deadly enemies will take their own lives (kill themselves) because of their star-crossed love (which was predetermined by fate).

i think its trying to just be a narrative poem telling the story of two mockingbirds that became gods and blessed people who were unwilling to become gods themselves. Its dort of a poem of self discovery.

To Kill a Mocking Bird (by Harper Lee) is written as from the perspective of an eight-year old girl - Scout.  \n\nAt this stage in the book, a new teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher, has already told Scout that her father should stop teaching her to read (although Scout is self-taught).  Miss Caroline and Scout were obviously on a collision course of sorts.\n\nAfter asking everyone who is having lunch at school to place their lunch at the front, Miss Caroline realises that Walter Cunningham has not brought his forward.  She pretty much forces him to say he had forgotten it, and then proceeds to offer him a quarter in order for him to buy his lunch - with the proviso that he returns the quarter the following day.  The Cunninghams are dirt poor farm people, and Walter never brings lunch to school, and certainly could never repay cash to Miss Caroline, so she has to keep prompting him to come and get the quarter.  He won't budge.  Everyone else is local and knows the circumstances of Walter's family ... and uneasily they say:\n\n"Go on and tell her, Scout".\n\n"I turned round and saw most of the town people and the entire bus delegation looking at me.  Miss Caroline and I had conferred twice already, and they were looking at me in the innocent assurance that familiarity breeds understanding."\n\n++++++++++\n\nI hope the above is of help.

"To Kill a Mockingbird"  depending on my mood, i've answered this questions with so many different answers.  But Gregory Peck's performance as Atticus Finch ALWAYS shines through.

Nathaniel Hawthorne \n\nScarlet Letter\nThe Scarlet Letter - Puritan Theocracy\nIn Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, life is centered around a strict rigid Puritan society in which one is unable to cultivate his or her innermost thoughts and secrets. Every human being needs the opportunity to express how he or she feels. Unfortunately, Puritan society did not permit this kind of expression, thus people like Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale sought other means of relief. Luckily, Hawthorne provides a sanctuary in the form of a mysterious forest. The forest is a shelter to escape theocracy and laws. The story of a Black Man made up by people, as well, express the evilness and consequences of Puritan society. In a way, Nathaniel Hawthornes criticize Puritan theocracy for its strict laws and believes. \n\nThe Puritan Society was very restrictive and repressive. Every member had a role to fulfill. Those who fall outside of their appropriate role in society may be shunned, insulted, or exiled. We can’t imagine this harsh and rigorous reality of their lives. With authority and management held by the highest standards of gentle\n\n. . . \nThose who are with sins are presented as a threat and perhaps an idol of the devil himself. It was perhaps a place into the wilderness where all signs of civilization vanish. The importance of the forest was a chance and a refuge for the two to rekindle their love. Why, you can hardly walk without tripping over one commandment or another. Immediately, she is punished shamefully in the presents of the public. Society was too far for it to have an affect. And no wonder, hemmed in, as you are, on every side by prohibitions. 177 Finally, it is here that the two of them openly engage in conversation without the constraints of Puritan society. Come away, mother, or he will catch you! But he cannot catch little Pearl!” p. We felt it so! We said to each other!" p. Hester immediately freed her spirit, “the wilderness beckons her: Throw off the shackles of law and religion. The sinful would not escape his wrath for he will cast evilness and steal the souls of others, “ Come away, mother! Come away, or yonder old Black Man will catch you! He hath got hold of the minister already. What good have they done you anyway? Look at you, a young and vibrant woman, grown old before your time. \n\n\nIn the beginning, Hester Prynne, an adulteress, walked the streets in her arms a child born without consent.

1.point of view :Scout narrates in the first person, telling what she saw and heard at the time and augmenting this narration with thoughts and assesments of her experiences in retrospect. Although she is by no means an omniscient narrator, she has matured considerably over the  years and often implicitly and humorously comments on the naïveté she displayed in her thoughts and actions as a young girl. Scout mostly tells of her own thoughts but also devotes considerable time to recounting and analyzing Jem’s thoughts and actions.(taken from sparknotes.com)\n2.Maycomb county\n3.The town believes that a mad person named Boo Radley lived inside.People said he went out at night when the moon was high and peeped in windows....Any stealthy crimes commited in Maycomb were his work.And so on.You are right.it was due to gossips.\n4.They thought that he once, while cutting articles out of the newspaper for his scrapbook, plunged his pair of scissors into his father's leg.Jem also believes that Boo had died and was stuffed up the chimney.And so on...\n5.It is YOUR impression....I personally don't know.\n6.The way they talk,of course...\n\n7.championship?\n\n8.You never really understand a person until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.(consider things from their point of view.)\n9.Of course.But there should be more of his type of character today.\n\n10.He wouldn't.He asks them not to torment Boo Radley.\n\n11.She is trustworthy and does not gossip like the other women in town.She is honest and upright like Atticus.

I would throw Harper Lee's book at it and hit it square between the eyes.  If I missed, the mocking bird would fly away, perplexed by the fact that someone was throwing literature at it.

The themes are honesty, bravery, courage, and standing up for what you believe is right.\n\nAtticus Finch knows that he is going to lose his trial for Tom Robinson. However, he doesn't let that stop him from fighting for what he knows is right. This shows his courage, because he faces physical danger and social danger as well from the citizens of Maycomb, AL. \n\nThere aren't many symbols in this book, but Mr. Ewell represents the poor South- an uneducated, bigoted mass of people. Men like Underwood and Heck Tate represent the South's prospects of a better future. They help Atticus and are willing to change.

From Bookrags  ( http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/SUM.htm ) :\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story of Scout Finch and her brother, Jem, in 1930's Alabama. Through their neighborhood meanderings and the example of their father, they grow to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of their world no matter how subtle it seems.\n\nThe summer when Scout was six and Jem was ten, they met Dill, a little boy who spent the summer with his aunt who lived next door to the Finches. Dill and Jem become obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley, the neighborhood recluse, come out of his home. They go through plan after plan, but nothing draws him out. However, these brushes with the neighborhood ghost result in a tentative friendship over time and soon the Finch children realize that Boo Radley deserves to live in peace, so they leave him alone.\n\nScout and Jem's God-like father, Atticus, is a respected and upstanding lawyer in small Maycomb County. When he takes on a case that pits innocent, black Tom Robinson against two dishonest white people, Atticus knows that he will lose, but he has to defend the man or he can't live with himself. The case is the biggest thing to hit Maycomb County in years and it turns the whole town against Atticus, or so it seems. Scout and Jem are forced to bear the slurs against their father and watch with shock and disillusionment as their fellow townspeople convict an obviously innocent man because of his race. The only real enemy that Atticus made during the case was Bob Ewell, the trashy white man who accused Tom Robinson of raping his daughter. Despite Ewell's vow to avenge himself against Atticus, Atticus doesn't view Ewell as any real threat.\n\nTom Robinson is sent to a work prison to await another trial, but before Atticus can get him to court again, Tom is shot for trying to escape the prison. It seems that the case is finally over and life returns to normal until Halloween night. On the way home from a pageant, Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout in the darkness. After Jem's arm is badly broken, their ghostly neighbor, Boo Radley, rescues Scout and her brother. In order to protect Boo's privacy, the sheriff decides that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife while he was struggling with Jem. Boo Radley returns home never to be seen again.\n\nThrough the events of those two years, Scout learns that no matter their differences or peculiarities, the people of the world and of Maycomb County are all people. No one is lesser or better than anyone else because they're all people. She realizes that once you get to know them, most people are good and kind no matter what they seem like on the outside.
