In my opinion, what Scout has learned by the end of this
chapter is that her Aunt Alexandra is a lady, and Miss Maudie probably is, but none of
the others in the Missionary Circle is a lady.
What I mean
by this is that being a lady does not mean being superior and looking down on other
people. If you are a lady, Scout learns, you need to be caring and fair. You need to
not be hypocritical like the other women who are at the
gathering.
Finally, I guess, being a lady means bearing up
under stress and sadness and not letting those things
show.
So being a lady is pretty much like being a good
person.
