The Negroes occupied the lowest class level of Maycomb. Despite Lee's emphasis on their abundance of admirable qualities, their skin colour made them immediate outcasts and ranked even lower than the dirt poor Ewells. Their inferior status produced as a result of racial prejudice is evidently shown through the townspeople' common dialogue, referring them as "niggers- and "boys-. At Calpurnia's church, Jem and Scout saw the sufferings of the"coloured folks- as they took account of their rundown church and the lack of education that "four folks out of the hundreds in First Purchase can read."".
Through dialogue exchanged between Atticus and Scout the readers are confided with his inner conflict in accepting Tom Robinson's case. Although he was "simply defending a Negro-, he was aware of the town's possession in racial prejudice and the consequences in "fighting our friends-. He acknowledged that "if I didn't, I couldn't hold up my head in town, I couldn't even tell you or Jem not to do something again."" So he continued his motivation in proving Robinson innocent. .
However, his action led the Finches to be caught in "Maycomb's usual disease- evoking the town in hostility treatment. The inevitable case not only influenced his town prestige, but also result Jem and Scout to be the targets of abuse from other children, Atticus was insulted as a "nigger-lover- and degraded to be "no better than the niggers and trash he works for-. .
Even Atticus's own family expressed disapproval of his decision as Francis claimed him as "a nigger lover and ruinin' the family."" Aunt Alexander's desire to dismiss the Finches black cook, Cal and her refusal to invite Walter Cunningham was to exemplify the prejudice in human interactions. Lee uses Scout's perplexity at her aunt to portray the significance of race and role of class status in society. .
The conflict of the trial is a useful mechanism that Lee uses to lay out the argument of racial prejudice, bringing the protagonist's main issues into focus.
