In this chapter we learn some more about the people in Maycomb county and the hierarchy of the people. We can learn from a quote from Aunt Alexandria that she doesn’t think very highly of the black community in Maycomb. After Atticus said in front of Calpurnia, at the dinner table, that “He despises Negroes, won’t have one near him”. Aunt Alexandria, after watching Cal leave, says that “Don’t talk like that in front of them.” She refers to Cal as “Them”, generalising the black community and also turning it into a derogatory term. This shows that Aunt Alexandria doesn’t have much respect for the ‘minority’ class in Maycomb which can range from the black community to the Mennonites from the forest.
