To Kill A Mockingbird
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee shows empathy in many different ways. Atticus shows empathy toward blacks and the town recluse. He upholds the law and looks out for his clients' best interests, even when it hurts his reputation. His willingness to put himself in others' shoes is most evident when he agrees to defend Tom, a black man falsely accused rape, without considering how his actions might affect others, including his family. Atticus identifies with Tom's plight and shows empathy by standing against racial inequalities and prejudices without concern for his own wellbeing. Scout empathizes with Boo, a long-time town recluse who grew up with a violent father, after witnessing how unjust and mean-spirited
