    “I felt the starched walls of a pink cotton penitentiary closing in on me, and for the second time in my life I thought of running away” expresses Scout’s distaste for dresses. The metaphor of a dress to a penitentiary helps the reader understand the oppression Scout felt while wearing one. These experiences helped give a negative connotation to being a girl in Scout’s mind. “It’s time you started bein’ a girl and acting right! I burst into tears and fled to Calpurnia”, was a statement Jem made to Scout, which completely contradicts his earlier statements. This hurts Scout emotionally because she always wanted Jem’s approval and was always being told how she should conform to the traditional expectations of women at the time. Scout’s stereotype of being a tomboy and the constant critique that her character endured reflected the apparent sexism that women in the 1930s were subjected to in Maycomb.…
