Lee’s popular novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, offers readers deep insight into the dynamics of an unconventional family and Southern lifestyle in the1930s. Harper Lee was born Nelle Harper Lee on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama (Sparknotes.com).

Lee, and daughter to a former newspaper editor turned state senator and practicing attorney. She studied law at the University of Alabama from 1945 to 1949 and spent a year at Oxford University Wellington Square as an exchange student (Harperlee.com).

    Two of the negative character traits, avarice and hubris, portrayed by Claudette and Grandmother, in “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” by Karen Russell and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, makes them evil. For example, in “St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves” the girls earn skill points as they progress; Claudette expresses her greed for skill points that when she is at risk of losing them she blames her sister, Mirabella, although she was trying to help. This is obvious when she says, “ I wasn’t talking to you… I didn't want your help.” Similarly, the Grandmother shows a sense of avarice when she tells her grandchildren about a suitor she once had. She says, “... She would have done well to marry Mr. Teagarden…
