Development (Growth & change)

Other information              

  • She learns how to love and she generally understands a lot more about what's going on around her. For example- at first she is cautious of Boo Radley but as the novel goes on she expresses a small amount of love for him.
  • Also as Scout grows up she comes to accept people as they are, not as she would want them to be.
  • She comes to understand the significance and wisdom of Atticus's words when he said that to understand a person you have to stand up and walk around in his shoes.
  • Thanks to Atticus’s wisdom, Scout learns that though humanity has a great capacity for evil, it also has a great capacity for good, and that the evil can often be mitigated if one approaches others with an outlook of sympathy and understanding.
  • "Atticus... He was real nice..." "Most people are, Scout, when you finally get to see them"
