English Essay Final

     In the literary pieces  To Kill a Mocking bird ,  An Enemy of the People,  and  Julius Caesar the
authors use crowds to develop their themes.  The townspeople, majority, and the mobs represented how
people go in favor of the more popular side. Most people will go on this side because the benefits will go to
the people.  They can also fear that having a different opinion will make a bad impression of themselves.
     In To Kill a Mockingbird, the townspeople's narrow-mindedness didn't allow them to think like "
free-thinkers".  They never went outside the boundaries of Maycomb County, which limited their
knowledge to that which they already knew.  The townspeople were all brought up under the same beliefs.
Since the town is in the middle of nowhere, they receive no new ideas or information.  All this is
accountable for the narrow-mindedness of the town..  Harper Lee uses the townspeople to show how
narrow-mindedness leads to uniform thinking.  This way of thinking leads to the majority always going on
the same side.  Anyone with a different opinion cannot speak up because nobody else will support him.  All
of the other people believe him wrong because they grew up thinking that their ways are correct.  Thus, the
majority in  To Kill a Mockingbird always beat the minority because the majority's facts are based on ideas

to pay for all the work done.  That meant heavy taxation on the middle class, who simply couldn't afford to
pay for it.  The people then only cared about their own money, not about the health of the visitors who
would come.  Inevitably, everybody switched sides.  Ibsen uses the majority vs. the minority to show how
in society people only want to hear what concerns them in any way.  In   An Enemy of the People, the
people "did not dare" help him out by taking his side.  The majority believed him to be an enemy because
they thought that he wanted them to be taxed!
.  Hence , An Enemy of the People  shows that people do  not dare fight against the majority fearing that
they will be criticized.
     In Julius Caesar, people do (or join) things only for personal benefit.  Many people are
inconsiderate and grieve over their own losses; especially the loss of a great leader. Caesar.   The crowd
