Atticus As A Protagonist Analysis
Atticus as a Protagonist Granted. It is an interesting word, Granted means to “To accept without question or objection; assume.” You never know when the world is going to take people or change them for good. To Kill a Mockingbird shows this exactly, People killed, characters changed, and people lying. Expect the unexpected.
To begin with, Robert Anton Wilson once said, “There is absolutely nothing in this world that can be taken for granted.” This is exactly what the novel is about. Tom Robinson gets his life taken for granted after wrongfully being accused of raping a young white lady. He then tries to escape and gets shot. His life was taken by racism in a small southern town.
In addition, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is about a small town with a crime invested in them all somehow. The main characters are “Scout”, “Jem”, “Dyl”, and Atticus. I strongly believe what is crucial is how “Scout” is utilized in this book. This novel wouldn't be complete without her. She is the protagonist of the book and helps shape out the character that we know as “Jem”. Jean Louise or “Scout” is very intelligent and a major tomboy. She has a faith in the goodness of everyone in her community. As the novel goes on, Hatred begins to creep in as Tom Robinson is convicted of rape.

world. With that being said, She still believes that there is good in everyone's evilness. Lastly, Jeremy Atticus “Jem” Finch is arguably the most influential character in To Kill a Mockingbird.
He is used in the beginning of the novel as an immature indecisive kid who just wants to have fun with his best bud “Dyl”. Then, as trouble turns the corner with Maycomb, “Jem” grows up quickly...almost too quick for him. He sees how inappropriate Tom Robinson is treated and what racism can do to someone. He steps up as the man of the house while Atticus is caught up in so much. “Jem” also plays the role of big brother to “Scout” and is basically her guardian. As time goes by, their bond gets stronger and
stronger. In conclusion, To Kill a Mockingbird is the definition of “Taken for granted”. The novel is about a small town with a crime invested in them all somehow. People killed, characters changed, and people lying, Tom Robinson gets his life taken for granted after wrongfully being accused of raping a young white lady, and lastly “Jem” making the jump from boyhood to a man. Remember, Expect the unexpected.
