After doing some research Jean Lousie found some medieval techniques which included throwing the women against a wall, and because of fear from that, just having birth in general and anxiety over the whole thing Jean Louise decided she would just kill herself (and the supposed baby with her) to avoid the whole thing. Later she heard girls talking about how Francine Owen had been french kissed and now she was pregnant so scout figured the same thing would happen to her, and she didn't know any better because she never got "the talk".

Nine months prior a boy named Albert randomly french kissed scout as thanks for a really small thing. So naturally, and unfortunately, teen pregnancy and teen suicide are out of control, as is incestual rape.Īnd on that happy note, have a good weekend everyone!Īt this point in Go Set a Watchman Jean Louise (now in her mid-twenties) is thinking back to a time in her life as a child. But it does, especially in countries run by bigoted and stifling religious groups such as the catholic church of El Salvador, where all forms of abortion, even in the cases of rape, incest, or if the mother is going to die in child birth are banned. You might be thinking that now with the internet and the somewhat easier access to birth control, that this would never happen. Had Henry not come and saved her, she would have died, and the shame that is forced into our minds from a young age in regards to teen pregnancy and sexual intercourse, along with the lack of education and general attitude of taboo in regards to the subject would have been to blame for scout's tragic and untimely albeit self inflicted demise. According to her calculations, the baby would come with October, and on the thirtieth day of September she would kill herself." (Lee, p133) But being sent to mobile and causing her family to live thereafter with worse she didn't even wish that on Alexandra. "The idea had been i the back of her mind for a long time, but she recoiled from it instinctively.the thought of any existence without them, no matter how nice heaven was, was untenable.

One reason that the patriarchy or sexism contribute to her attempted suicide can be seen in this quote, Only slightly less stupid then how scout thinks babies are made I really can't accept anything to be true anymore because of Atticus and GSAWM.įor those of you that have read " Go Set A Watchman", you will remember when scout is kissed by a boy, given a brief and wildly inaccurate talk on how sex works by a group of middle school girls, then proceeds after several months of thinking she is pregnant, attempt to plunge herself off of a water tower in order to die before the baby is born. His opinions on race seemed very similar to those of ours today, but in actuality they weren't at all, so is he really sexist and he let scout do all of her "boy-ish" things as a kid to get it out of her system? Does he actually not really care? Do his opinions on gender not effect how he see's his children? I don't know it really is destroying my entire world. How he treats scout is something really similar to what happens (at least in what I've experienced) with parents and their kids today. come along that anything else is expected of Scout. What this conversation got me thinking about, is how does this transfer onto his opinions about gender? Throughout TKAM Atticus let's scout dress how she wants and be who she wants regardless of her gender and it isn't until people like Aunt A. Something in particular that really contradicts (sorta) what Atticus is saying here is this one quote in GSAWM "Do you want your children going to a school that's been dragged down to accommodate negro children." This is just taking what the previous quote made people think about how Atticus feels about stereotypes and forces it to leave existence. Someone who see's no difference in the moral being of a black man or a white man, a woman or man, he didn't judge people from their race or gender, he judged them on who they were as a person, or at least I thought he did. case, even though none of this directly contradicts what Atticus says in GSAWM it helps to build an image of who Atticus was shown as, as a person. There is not a person in this courtroom who has never told a lie, who has never done an immoral thing, and there is no man living who has never looked upon a woman without desire." This is a quote from Atticus in his closing statements of the T.R. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men. "You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral, some Negro men are not to be trusted around women-black or white.
