Question

Is there a quote in "To Kill a Mockingbird" that proves it is a bildungsroman?

Answer 1

To Kill a Mockingbird isn't just Scout's coming-of-age story; it's also Jem's and Dill's. But mostly we hear about Scout. Over the course of the novel she learns to act in a more adult way, even a more ladylike way, and to see the people around her as actual human beings.
