Atticus is a lawyer who used his mind instead of his fists. He walked away from insults. Also, he didn't gamble or smoke, and liked to walk instead driving. A man who liked nothing better than to bury himself in a books." Atticus doesn't expect his kids to respect him just because he's their father, but because he acts in a way that deserves respect. His honesty with his children means that they trust him, and look to him for guidance." (Shmoop)

"Scout Finch may or may not be a lover at first, but she's definitely a fighter. At the beginning of the novel, fighting is her solution to everything; she goes after Walter Cunningham after she gets in trouble on his behalf on the first day of school. She beats up Dill when she thinks he's not paying enough attention to her, and she kicks a member of the lynch mob when he grabs Jem. But then going on to the book she starts to grow up and becoming a lady at the end. Her dad teaches her that everyone is equal. Know matter what color you are or even how others want attention" (Shmoop).

"Jem Finch ages from 10 to 13 over the course of To Kill a Mockingbird, a period of great change in any child's life. Jem is no exception to this rule. Interestingly, the changes he undergoes are seen from the point-of-view of a younger sister, which gives a unique perspective on his growth." (Cliffnotes)
Tom Robinson

"Tom Robinson's name comes up long before he appears in person, but the main issue setting tongues wagging isn't whether Tom is innocent or guilty, but Atticus's resolve to give him a good defense. Tom himself is basically absent from these debates, which assume either that he's guilty or that, regardless of his guilt or innocence, he should be punished for getting anywhere near Mayella."

Boo Radley

''But the kids aren't just afraid of him. There's also a strange longing for connection in the kids' obsession with him. Acting out of the life and times of Boo Radley could be a way of trying understand him.'' (Cliffnotes)
