Character Description and Analysis


Atticus is not being paid very well as he is the town lawyer/solicitor and works for people who are hard
working farmers and can only pay in other ways like food.
He is a giving person as he has paid for his brother’s education.

Atticus Finch is a character who embodies many of the virtues that readers aspire to have themselves. In
Harper Lee's novel, "To Kill a Mockingbird," Atticus is a highly respected lawyer who upholds the principles of
justice and fairness. He is also a devoted father who teaches his children valuable life lessons about empathy
and understanding. One of the most striking things about Atticus's character is his unwavering commitment
to doing what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular. This is perhaps best exemplified by his defense of
Tom Robinson, a black man who is falsely accused of rape. Despite the overwhelming evidence against Tom,
Atticus fights tirelessly to prove his innocence, knowing that it is the right thing to do. His courage and

determination in the face of adversity are truly inspiring, and they serve as a powerful reminder of the
importance of standing up for what is right, even when it is not easy. Atticus's character is also significant
because of the way he challenges the deeply ingrained social norms and expectations of his time. He refuses
to succumb to the pressures of his peers and colleagues, and instead, he acts with integrity and principle. His
belief in the inherent goodness of all people, regardless of their race or social status, is a message that
resonates deeply with readers and continues to be relevant today. Moreover, Atticus is also a loving and
devoted father to his two children, Jem, and Scout. He takes the time to teach them important life lessons
about empathy, understanding, and the value of treating others with kindness and respect. His parenting style
is one of patience and understanding, and he serves as a model for what a good father should be. In
conclusion, Atticus Finch is a character who embodies many of the values that readers aspire to have
themselves. His commitment to justice, fairness, and equality, as well as his empathy and understanding
towards others, make him one of the most memorable and enduring characters in American literature. His
legacy serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even when it is difficult, and of
the power of love and compassion in shaping the world around us.
