Comparing the Roles of Aunt Alexandra and Calpurnia
There are a lot of ways Aunt Alexandra and Calpurnia’s roles differ. This may be because of the prejudice towards blacks in the era whilst Harper Lee wrote this book.
However they do share similar roles in the house and this causes a personality clash when they are living in the same house because they both usually do the same chores around the house and it does not work because they are both trying to compete for the same lifestyle in the same house and this causes their differences to show and eventually one of them will try and get rid of the other. In this case it is Aunt Alexandra attempts to get Calpurnia out of the house generally because as Calpurnia could not do this because she is black and in that era if a black was outspoken like that she would not have a reputation and would not be respected by the white community even less then she usually is.
