Aunt Alexandra and Miss Maudie are roughly the same age and grew up as neighbors at Finch's Landing. But for all the background these women share, they couldn't be more opposite. Lee uses the contrasts between these two characters to further delineate the theme of tolerance in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Lee uses the contrasts between these two characters to further delineate the theme of tolerance in To Kill a Mockingbird.Aunt Alexandra is very conscious of Maycomb's social mores, chooses to live within its constrictions, and "given the slightest chance she would exercise her royal prerogative: she would arrange, advise, caution, and warn." Even her clothing is tight and restrictive. Miss Maudie, on the other hand, sets herself toward the outside of Maycomb's conventionality. Like Atticus, she stays within bounds, but follows her own code.

When Aunt Alexandra states, "'I can't say I approve of everything he does, Maudie, but he's my brother,'" Miss Maudie reminds her that Atticus is doing a wonderful thing and that many in the town support him, even if that support is quiet. Aunt Alexandra is also extremely critical of Atticus' parenting style, while Miss Maudie is much more sympathetic. But then, Miss Maudie has a delightful sense of humor, a trait Aunt Alexandra does not possess.
