6. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Chapters 10 & 11 BOOK ONE: A REVIEW
The characters in the novel are often complicated – as are their relationships. Book One develops the following relationships:
Scout is the one telling the story and the one “learning lessons”
Scout Finch
Jem Finch
Dill Baker
Boo Radley
Miss Maudie
Atticus Finch
Jem and Dill influence Scout’s actions and childhood behaviour
Boo Radley sits in the middle; he is a tool to teach morals to the children and he is a symbol of kindness
Miss Maudie teaches truth and is a powerful ‘motherly figure’ for Scout
Atticus, at the opposite end, is a “moral compass” for Scout. He teaches and guides the children appropriately
