Tolerance or racism? deciphering atticus finch\'s white saviorism in harper lee\'s to kill a mockingbird / Roro Prihatini

Abstrak
Harper Lee rsquo s most famous novel To Kill a Mockingbird has been widely praised for its progressive portrayal of racial theme presented by one of its main characters Atticus Finch. The novel has become of critical interest for its powerful anti-racist and feminist ideas highlighting the courage required to confront institutional racism. While Atticus Finch is often praised for defending a convicted Black man he was in charge of named Tom Robinson a closer analysis reveals instances where his actions although subtle unintentionally promote the power structures he is supposed to be against. This analysis proposes that Atticus s actions still operate within the framework of a ldquo white savior rdquo trope. This perspective brings forth the potential drawbacks of well-intentioned actions by figures of authority in a previously colonized society where attempts to disintegrate institutional prejudice can still reinforce existing power dynamics. By critically reevaluating Atticus s character using a postcolonial approach this paper discover the need for a more thorough understanding of the challenges faces by the characters who attempt to achieve racial justice.
