Charachter Analysis Atticus Finch
Alaina McDonald
In “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch is a man who fights for what he believes in. He is very strong willed and always the one who will stand up for what is right, not what the most popular thing is to do. He also is often reffered to as the wisest man in his town. Atticus believes in equality among people. In his mind all people are equal and deserve equal treatment no matter what race they are. Atticus tells Jem and Scout, his two children, not to judge people until you walk in their shoes. Atticus is also a defense lawyer for his county of Maycomb. Durring his case with Tom Robinson, the black that was accused of raping a white girl, Atticus tries to change the injustices and racism in his small hometown.
Atticus is a older male, about 50 years old, with a darker hair color that is turning gray as he ages. He wears glasses because his left eye is nearly blind. He said “Left eyes are the tribal curse of the Finches." He is also rather tall. His two children were once ashamed of him, because he didn’t fish or hunt, like the other children's fathers, due to his age. But as they grew, they began appreciating him not for the activities he did on the weekend, but his morals and beliefs.
Atticus is one of the most loyal, humane, and consistent with his views and beliefs than any other character in the novel. Miss Maudie states, "Atticus Finch is the same in his house as he is on the public streets". His intelligence, calm wisdom, courage, humility, lack of prejudice, and strong sense of justice, causes him to be respected by everyone, including the very poor and black people. Although he is looked down on and mocked by many characters in the novel for his kindness towards the “Negros”, the people of Maycomb still respect him and keep re-electing him to be their representative in the State Legislator.
