| Atticus Finch |
Atticus Finch is one of the primary characters in the 1960 book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee . He represents morality and kindness. He defends Tom Robinson because he feels that not doing so would make him a hypocrite. Atticus serves as a guiding light for his children, always calm and patient. He allows them to come to the understanding that, although evil exists, one should not dwell on that but should instead realize that the existence of this evil is a sign that there is work to do, and progress to make. His strong presence in his children's lives prevents them from becoming symbols of destroyed innocence, such as Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. In the 1962 film he was played by Gregory Peck. Atticus Finch was voted the greatest hero of all-time by the American Film Institute in their special feature AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains. (references) |
