my teacher said aunt alexandra is a likely character question for literature 1. she hasn't come up since 2006.

Would it just be like about racism or family? And how she's accepted into the finch family although she's black and of s lower status

Yes if the question is on Calpurnia, their black maid. But Aunt Alexandra is her auntie who represents women and tells Scout to be the "light in [her] father's lonely life" and to "wear dresses" rather than dungarees etc.

The significance of Calpurnia is much more than that. She is the bridge between the black and white community, and without Calpurnia, the conflict within Scout would not be as prominent as she realises that members of her community are prejudiced towards people of Calpurnia's skin colour; this juxtaposes the love Scout has for Calpurnia. Although Scout often reveals feelings of resentment towards Calpurnia, the resentment is due to the authority Calpurnia has rather than her skin colour. Going back to my main point, having Calpurnia in the novel allows Scout and Jem to visit the black church where they realise the solidarity and sophistication of both black community. This is of great importance as it imbues Scout with sympathy towards the black community as well as the reader as we realise that in actuality, the black community is not as terrible as we once thought it to be. This serves as a mechanism to make the ending even more tragic.
