Harper Lee's to Kill a Mockingbird (Blooms Notes)

AI Rating: 1/10 - Harold Bloom's study guide analyzes Harper Lee's *To Kill a Mockingbird* through a traditional literary lens, focusing on themes of morality, innocence, and narrative craft. Bloom emphasizes aesthetic value, character depth (e.g., Atticus Finch's heroism), and canonical status, critiquing reductive political readings. No progressive messaging, identity politics, or diversity prioritization; it resists "school of resentment" approaches like modern social justice overlays. The original novel's anti-racism is noted as integral to storytelling, not agenda-driven.
