Think about a town where everyone is separated by color and is completely unfair to colored people, but still find love? That's what Maycomb county is like in the book To Kill a Mockingbird . During the book Harper Lee tries to give you the message of what a good family should be (The Finches), and what they shouldn't be (The Ewell's). Harper Lee also makes the three children, Scout, Jem, and Dill, another factor of love in To Kill a Mockingbird because they would die for each other.
Atticus, at the beginning of the story, doesn't show all signs of complete love, even though for being an only parent he does a great job of caring for his family.

Scout also says that "He had asked me earlier in the summer to marry him..." (Lee, 55) This completely proves that Scout and Dill love each
