For many readers who have acquainted themselves with Harper Lees novel To Kill a Mockingbird, prior to reading critical reviews that praise this book as the work of genius, it often does not make a whole lot of sense that for her masterpiece, Lee was being given a Pulitzer Prize, despite novels dubious literary value (author is clearly having a hard time, while trying to logically interconnect Part 1 with Part 2). What also seems to be quite odd, is the fact that it has only taken one year, after To Kill a Mockingbird was being published, for the Hollywood producers to decide to make a film, based on Lees novel, even though that at this time, books actual popularity was not exactly reaching the sky, as literary critics are now trying to convince us. And finally no serious literary studies have ever been conducted, on the subject of To Kill a Mockingbird, despite overwhelming majoritys of literary critics referring to Lees book as insightful, progressive and fresh sounding. Given the fact that analysed book was being written at the time when
so-called civil rights movement was gaining a momentum, it appears that To Kill a Mockingbird should be discussed within a context of authors ability to utilize her understanding of the essence of socio-political dynamics, for the purpose of generating a commercial profit, rather then a literary work, which was simply intended to relate Lees childhood experiences to readers, as it is being often suggested nowadays. Therefore, it will not an exaggeration, on our part, to refer to To Kill a Mockingbird as a literary piece that was meant to add an emotional appeal to the ideological dogmas of neo-Liberalism, as political philosophy, closely associated with White Americans being slowly deprived of their existential vitality. It is not simply a coincidence that the main elements of novels plot (racist White farmers, representing evil, wrongly accused Black man, innocent children, a progressive shyster with clearly Semitic facial features), are now being incorporated in contemporary Hollywood movies, meant to popularize tolerance among Americans.
