Metaphor
"Starkly out of place in a town of square-faced stores and steep-roofed
houses, the Maycomb jail was a miniature Gothic joke." - Jean Finch
This is an interesting metaphor used to refer to the jail as a Gothic joke- a mockery of a small, lonely and grim-looking castle. This describes the jail well, as there is little space for the sentenced prisoners to move freely, as well as the depressing and solitary atmosphere.
