Prejudice You grew up hearing the saying: ‘Never judge a book by its cover’, but have any of us actually seen prejudice in action, hurting people; creating a barrier between them? Though many can think that prejudice originates from racism, or even social class, but it can be triggered by any seemingly insignificant difference. You might remember in primary school, or even in high school, when there was that one person that you didn’t want to sit next to. Maybe it was the chubby girl that sat in the corner, or the geeky guy that never talked and had his head in a book. In our current lives and in those hundreds of years ago, prejudice was present and was triggered by the smallest and largest of differences.
In ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’, prejudice was triggered off in so many places in so many ways: difference of race, social class and even seemingly harmless ones, like behaviour.
