Atticus_Finch-_Character_Analysis

Atticus Finch- Character Analysis Atticus Finch is the father of two children. His character can best be summed up as a man whose character is nearly the complete opposite of the general population of the town. He is a man without prejudice and racial hatred and is a good-hearted man of strong morals. He brings up his children the way he sees right. Atticus sees past a man’s color and looks into the depth of his character. In the beginning of the novel, on page 30, he tells Scout “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This shows that Atticus is a man of strong morals and principles and a man who will stand up for what he believes is right. When asked by his children why he chose to defend Tom Robinson when he knew he would most likely not win he replied to them that is he hadn’t, he wouldn’t be able to believe in himself anymore. He chose to defend Tom Robinson because to choose not to would be going against all his personal morals and principles.
