Or the fantasy of what a human being trying to confront injustice should be. And if To Set z Watchman is any indication, it really is a fantasy.
Go Set a Watchman kind of pisses me off in that it was her first conception of the novel. She changed that character, and now people are all like "Finch was actually a racist." He fucking wasn't because she adapted the character before the final draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. I know it's different enough to be it's own book, but that's not how she wrote it. It was To Kill a Mockingbird at its earliest stages. Poor Harper Lee.
