TKAM: End

Q: Did the ending of the novel surprise you? Did you agree with how the author ended it?

It ends on a significantly lighter note and with a visible resolution. The past few chapters are all very serious (Tom Robinson's trial, attempted murder of Jem) but it ends wih a soft resolution, that "most people are not what they seem when you finally see them", effectively linking the myths about Boo Radley, Tom Robinson's trial and the murder of Jem. I feel this is a very good way to end the story, as it gives a solution to the multitude of problems faced in the book in just one line.
