How is Calpurnia’s identity shown in Ch 12 of TKAM?

Calpurnia is shown to be a woman who has lost culture or her identity. This is shown throughout the chapter as we begin to discover more about her personal life. She has a son, Zeebo, and grandchildren, as well as her lack of knowledge of her own birthday. We begin to feel sympathy for her and so do Jem and Scout

‘That Calpurnia led a modest double life never dawned on me’ (Scout)

Suggesting that scout possibly feels a little sympathy for Calpurnia
