Quote #4
"I'm gonna do what every Christian young white fresh Southern virgin does when she's indisposed. […] I'm takin' to my bed." (10.34, 10.36)
It seems that one of society's unwritten rules is for women to be helpless, so when Jean Louise finally decides to conform, she does it by collapsing out of the picture. Which is the whole point of these customs: to keep women quiet.
Quote #5
"The only thing I'm afraid of about this country is that its government will someday become so monstrous that the smallest person in it will be trampled underfoot, and then it wouldn't be worth living in." (14.134)
Clarification: Smallest white person. Atticus only cares about government rules and regulations in how they affect old white men like him.
Quote #6
"Melbourne said once, that the only real duties of government were to prevent crime and preserve contracts, to which I will add one thing since I find myself reluctantly in the twentieth century: and to provide for the common defense." (14.135)
Another correction: the common defense of white people. This is Uncle Jack talking, a man "reluctantly" in the 20th century, but talking like he's still in the 19th. It seems like the only reluctance is letting go of white superiority.
