“Man is by nature a political animal. He who is without a city through nature rather than chance is either a mean sort or superior to man” (9) is one of the most famous quotations by the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle. Aristotle implied that social behavior lies within human nature itself and that has been proven to be true ever since the first emergence of the Homo sapiens species that formed and lived in hunter-gatherer societies. Due to human’s tendency of exemplifying social behavior, the first civilizations were created, one of which was Mesopotamia. Rules were required to keep peace among the people living in Mesopotamia, which resulted in the creation of the first recorded set of laws, The Code of Hammurabi. Such rules of co-existence had been refined and reinvented in pursuit of creating the perfect civilization time and time again throughout history. This implies that the ideas of a utopian civilization were present long before Sir Thomas More coined the term in 1516. In 1960, Harper Lee published her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird. One of the novel’s protagonists is Atticus Finch, whom many literary critics consider to be the perfect father figure in American literature. Throughout the novel, Atticus teaches his daughter Jean Louise Finch (nicknamed Scout) valuable life lessons, the purpose of which is to help Scout grow up to be a good person who fights for what is right. Those life lessons can be considered as a set of rules to live one’s life by if one wishes for ideal co-existing within the confines of a society and as such they could be translated into the laws of utopian nature.
