    To Kill a Mockingbird Quote Work Quotation Number One "When I pointed to him his palms slipped slightly‚ leaving greasy sweat steaks on the wall‚ and he hooked his thumbs in his belt. A strange small spasm shook him‚ as if he heard fingernails scrape slate‚ but as I gazed at him in wonder the tension slowly drained from his face. His lips parted into a timid smile‚ and our neighbour’s image blurred with my sudden tears. ’Hey‚ Boo‚’ I said." Page 270 Analysis Here‚ for the very first time‚

    In the play‚ Calpurnia has a nightmare about Caesar’s body spurting out blood like a fountain. “She dreamt tonight she saw my statue‚ which‚ like a fountain with an hundred spouts‚ did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it” (II.ii.81-84) Calpurnia’s ominous nightmare causes her to beg Caesar to stay home.

    Percy. In my opinion‚ this quote means that no matter what‚ goodness will be overshadowed and/or destroyed by a greater evil‚ for a lack of better words. I agree with this quote‚ because there are many real life situations that can prove it‚ along with the situations portrayed in most literary works.
