Ethnic divisions are constructed in the film To Kill A Mockingbird through a composite societal power structure instituted in difference. In spite of the fact that all of Macon county lives in poverty, the town does not combine on the basis of this mutual encountering, however instead center on their variance, both real and fantasized, to separate themselves. The town works under a widespread supposition that wealthier whites hold the most power and prominence, succeeded by poorer whites, while all blacks, heedless of financial station, are taken into account as to be the lowest citizens. General depictions of black men and women in the film are of household servants and uneducated, mild-mannered farm workers.
