“Aunt Alexandra was fanatical on the subject of my attire. I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn’t supposed to be doing things that required pants. Aunt Alexandra’s vision of my deportment involved playing with small stoves, tea sets, and wearing the add-a-pearl necklace she gave me when I was born.”
Aunt Alexandra values the 'feminine' qualities in young girl. She wants Scout to value them too, and is persistent in her pursuit in making Scout a lady.
