We can cite the striking "blind spots" of Scout, Aunt Alexandra, and Mayella Ewell.
<h3>What are and what are the impacts of these blind spots?</h3>
Scout's blind spot is believing that all humanity is kind and fair.
This blind spot impacts Scout herself, leaving her disappointed and bitter towards the people she trusted.
Aunt Alexandra's blind spot is her supremacist view of the south and the behavior of southerners.
This blind spot promotes racism and social inequality that impacts the most vulnerable characters in the book.
Mayella Ewell's blind spot is related to the certainty that she needs to use physical attributes and lies to get out of trouble.
This affects Mayella Ewell herself and promotes injustice and death to innocent people.
The blind spots presented in the book make the characters realistic and more humanized as they make them represent common behaviors in real American society.
This promotes reflection in the reader, who can recognize their own blind spots and how negative they are.
