Candy One of the book’s major themes and several of its dominant symbols revolve around Candy. The old handyman, aging and left with only one hand as the result of an accident, worries that the boss will soon declare him useless and demand that he leave the ranch. Of course, life on the ranch—especially Candy’s dog, once an impressive sheep herder but now toothless, foul-smelling, and brittle with age—supports Candy’s fears. Past accomplishments and current emotional ties matter little, as Carson makes clear when he insists that Candy let him put the dog out of its misery. In such a world, Candy’s dog serves as a harsh reminder of the fate that awaits anyone who outlives his usefulness.
Their common adventures and activities help unlock relatively inconspicuous issues of Maycomb society, oblivious to the two characters at that time. For example, when Jem builds the snowman initially out of mud, Scout says “I never heard of a nigger snowman before.” Jem reacts by adding an outer layer of snow to make the snowman white. This perceptively reveals that the blacks of the time weren’t acknowledged for their presence and contribution to society, but hidden behind the snow of white supremacy. As elucidated, Harper Lee has effectively made To Kill A Mockingbird a novel that is both mentally and emotionally exercising. This was achieved through the use of child narration by Scout, the Boo Radley subplot, and the developed relationship between Jem and Scout.
