A comparison of the portrayal and significance of self-definition and ignorance in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird and the novella House on Mango Street. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird,by Harper Lee, and the novella,House on Mango Street, by Sandra Cisneros, the strongest similarities that these two great works of literature represent, are the ideas of the struggle for self-definition and the affect of ignorance. According to the Webster's New World College Dictionary, self-definition is the understanding or determination of one's own nature, basic qualities, and purpose in one's life. Meanwhile, another significance of self-definition in literature, from the American Literature Dictionary for Students, is the true definition of one's identity, character, abilities, and attitudes, especially in relation to persons or things outside oneself or itself. The definition of ignorance in literature, credit given to the English Literature Dictionary for Students, is the absence or destitution of knowledge; the negative state of the mind which has not been instructed in various fields of education, or has not been informed of facts.
