Throughout the story several characters perspectives on everything in the daily lives can be conflicted by truth and by prejudice. In the novel we experience many different peoples points of view upon events that occurred such as Tom Robinson's trial, and how Bob Ewell treated the people he considered to be worthless. Vast majority people conform to societies at the times standards while very few had gone against everyone's wishes and truly stood up for what was right. The attitudes more specifically portrayed through Atticus and Scout because of their perspective on events highlighted in Harper Lee's novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," shows us that perspectives can be greatly impacted by rumors and actions inflicting prejudice and false identity

To not judge a book by it's cover, though worded differently is considered to be Atticus' golden rule. He constantly reminded both Jem and Scout throughout the story whenever an issue arose for either of them. Atticus had maintained a constant perspective to where he was always against prejudice and we first seen evidence of this at the Walter Cunningham fight incident. He shared his Golden Rule with Scout and strictly enforced the no fight rule upon her. When Atticus had told the three kids to stop playing the Boo Radley game they had come up we are again seeing the no judgement portion of Atticus. Throughout the novel we don see how Atticus' perspective directly impacts himself but we do see him sharing his input on both his kids and people he meets in his day to day life. Another incident when Atticus had showed how he defends and protects those in need is when he had protected Tom Robinson from the gang that had went to lynch him at the prison where he was being held. Atticus with some help from Scout was able to prevent them from harming Tom and twisted Mr.Cunninghams vote at the trial. Finally Atticus went to trial and went to all limits to protect a person of colour, and didn't care about his image in society due to the fact that he was defending a black person in court. During the time period of racial segregation and prejudice displayed in the novel provides good insight on how difficult it must have been for Atticus to retain his perspective of life in Maycomb and maintain such good character
