Abstract
If a producer was to make an adaptation of Harper Lee's, To kill a mockingbird and wanted to extricate Miss Maudie's role from the film, not only would the dynamic of the characters be irreparably damaged, but the film would also be excluding one of the most powerful humanizing forces in the novel. The novel is fundamentally about perspectives within a whole interconnected system of personal and societal forces, and Miss Maudie offers one of the only sensitive voices in the novel that enables Jem and Scout to develop this skill. Additionally, Miss Maudie is one of the only progressive female voices in the novel and her very presence can be used to counterpoint the other oppressive doctrines in the novel, adding an entirely singular and rich layer to the theme of the novel.
