The Coexistence of Good and Evil The most important theme of To Kill a Mockingbird is the coexistence of good and evil. The novel addresses this theme in several ways throughout the book. An example is Mrs. Dubose in general. She was a rude old woman who was hated by the neighborhood for her attitude. “The opinion of the neighborhood was unanimous that Mrs. Dubose was the meanest old woman that ever lived” (Lee 35). She was never satisfied with what anyone did for her. Regardless, even though she hated everyone, she made her hatred for African Americans very obvious when the topic of Atticus and his decision to defend Tom Robinson came up, she clearly shows her disagreement at this subject. Also. She was so outraged that she took time out of her day by directly insulting Scout and Jem every time they passed her house. “Your father is no better than the African Americans he works for!” » (Lee 102). She thought it was very bad for a white man to help an African American or any African American person for that matter. Regardless of her bad qualities, she has good qualities like her heroism.
