In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Boo Radley is presented to the readers as a troubled man, feared by the entire County of Maycomb. During Boo’s younger years he became acquainted with the Cunninghams from Old Sarum, and formed the closest thing to a gang that Maycomb County had ever seen. When they were caught and put to court, Boo's father continued to insist that “[. . .] no Radley was going to any asylum, [. . .] Boo wasn’t crazy, he was high-strung at times.” (Lee 12).

    Innocence is most commonly defined as ‘freedom from sin, moral wrong, or guilt through lack of knowledge of evil’. When comparing this definition to the characters of Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, it becomes clear that the loss of innocence is a central theme and is pivotal to character development. Some of the key characters who have lost their innocence are Jem Finch and his sister Scout , Arthur (Boo) Radley and Mayella Ewell. This collection of characters is unique, as they all of them are extremely different from one another. Due to the fact that the novel was written in the first person view of a child, the audience is given a deeper connection with the loss of innocence, whilst becoming witness to how the four characters…

    “First of all, if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. 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” (39). What Atticus is doing is trying to convince Scout that Miss Caroline is doing what she believes is right and if she could see that, then she would get along with Miss Caroline better. Atticus says this early on in the book to Scout after she tells him all of the hardships she encountered on her first day of school and this theme stays true all the way through the entire book of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses Dolphus Raymond, Boo Radley,…
