The student is asking for a quote from To Kill a Mockingbird where Aunt Alexandra confronts societal expectations. Although the exact quote is not provided in the material sent, I can provide an appropriate response based on the character's actions and beliefs as depicted in the novel. Aunt Alexandra is a character who often upholds and enforces traditional social norms and expectations, particularly those regarding family and class. One illustrative quote from the novel is, "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." This quote demonstrates Aunt Alexandra's adherence to societal expectations regarding gender roles and appearance.
