Question

how does lee continue to develop the theme of disillusionment in chapters 22–23 of to kill a mockingbird?

○ lee shows that only jem is disappointed by tom robinson’s guilty verdict.

○ lee shows that scout and jem have to deal with the reality of social and racial boundaries in maycomb.

Explanation:

In Chapters 22 - 23 of "To Kill a Mockingbird", the theme of disillusionment is developed as Scout and Jem face the harsh reality of social and racial injustice in Maycomb after Tom Robinson's verdict. The first option is incorrect because more than just Jem is disappointed (Scout is also affected, and the community's racism is a broader issue). The second option correctly reflects how Lee shows the children grappling with the reality of these boundaries, leading to their disillusionment with the unfair society.

Answer:

B. Lee shows that Scout and Jem have to deal with the reality of social and racial boundaries in Maycomb.
