Go Set a Watchman is the much awaited follow-up book to Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, an iconic literary piece on race relations in the United States. With so much anticipation about its pending release, many thought that Watchman would be a sequel of some kind to her first book. It is actually not so much a sequel, but almost a prequel as can be gleaned from the Atticus Finch’s depiction, where he appears to be not only tentative in his views on race relations, but opposed to full integration as opposed to the fire-breathing attorney in Mockingbird, who wants to go all out for equality for blacks. It would not be unreasonable to say that the Atticus in Watchman is evolving towards the fully formed civil rights activist in Mockingbird. Still, the book should be read on its own merits to let its own, I feel, nobler and more universal ideas flower and evolve in the reader’s eyes. As Jack Finch, the brother of Atticus Finch asserts, racism is incidental to some things. Same goes for this book. Comparing it and its characters to Mockingbird may take Watchman’s life and meaning out of it.
Watchman is almost a biography of Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, who was an overall-wearing pre-teener for most of Mockingbird, which was related from her point of view. There are many reminiscing’s of many stages of her youth, especially in Chapters 5, 9, 11, and 15. Unlike her first book, Lee’s point of view is not in the first person eyes of Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, but is told in the third person. Calpurnia, Dill Harris, and Jem Finch return as characters in the book.
