Quote 1
"They're a public menace." (5.289)
Henry says this about a carload of black people. The car is driving fast, which is super dangerous. Considering that, is this a racially charged statement?
"Then marry me."
"Make me an offer." (5.240-5.241)
Jean Louise is teasing Henry here, but is there any kind of "offer" he could make that would have her seriously considering marriage with him?
Quote 3
"As a general rule, most women, before they've got 'em, present to their men smiling, agreeing faces. They hide their thoughts. You now, when you're feeling hateful, honey, you are hateful." (1.84)
Henry might pretend as if he doesn't like Jean Louise's antagonistic ways, but we bet he wouldn't be interested in her if she were shy and demure and fake like most of Maycomb's young women.
"I thought women liked to be thought strange and mysterious."
"No, they just like to look strange and mysterious." (4.23-4.24)
This exchange is a little bit flirty talk, but also a little bit true. At least in Jean Louise's case. She relishes keeping Henry on his toes.
Quote 5
"Look, honey. Have you ever considered that men, especially men, must conform to certain demands of the community they live in simply so they can be of service to it?" (16.55)
Henry suggests that he already loses his identity, just by being a man in society. He has to compromise his identity to his peers every day to fit in.
