Go To

Jean Louise Finch

Now older but in many cases the same person she was in her childhood, she remains the protagonist and narrator of the story.

  • The Idealist: Jean Louise, be it from her time in New York or an intrinsic part of her character, believes in the equality and humanity of all races. This clashes against Maycomb's ideology.
  • Outgrowing the Childish Name: She no longer uses her childhood nickname, Scout.

Atticus Finch

Alexandra Finch

Henry Clinton

Jem Finch

Like Dill, he only appears in flashbacks. He died off-screen.

Charles Baker “Dill” Harris

The short, cotton-headed childhood friend of Jem and Scout. He only appears in flashbacks, because he’s in Italy the last time he was heard from.

Jack Finch

Atticus's brother

  • Cool Uncle: By the end of the book. He was a major guiding force for Jean Louise as she struggled to understand the changes in Maycomb she perceived.
  • Gentleman Snarker: As put together and wise as Atticus, bus certainly more sharp-tongued.
  • Trickster Mentor: Jack's longwinded way of speaking and allusions can be impenetrable and seen as being useless, but there is a message behind all of it.
