Benjamin franklin said, "be assured, a woman's power, as well as happiness, has no other foundation but her husband's esteem and love." based on her epitaph, how would mrs. mcgee from spoon river anthology have responded to franklin's idea?

She would have said the following :

I only have accusations for my husband as he stole my youth, to begin with.Mr Franklin you think my power as a woman is to give love to my husband...a husband who looks down on me, who uses and abuses of his power over my body and mind.He does not give, he takes from me.All I was I am not any longerso please stop saying women have a power.We are powerless, we cannot choose our fate .We cannot decide , we are humiliated and made unhappy.You have no idea what it is like to be a woman.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
