Character Analysis Of Boo Radley In To Kill A Mockingbird, By Harper Lee

In To Kill A Mockingbird a theme found throughout the story is, you don’t understand someone until you walk in his or her shoes. Two characters in the story I’m going to explain are Boo Radley and Mrs. Dubose. Boo Radley has always been known as a bad person ever since he was little. Boo Radley has changed, and people can change. Scout has many encounters with Boo Radley. One encounter is the tree outside the Radley house. Everyday Scout walks past the Radley house after school, and one day she noticed something in the tree. The item in the tree was a piece of gum, so she brought it home to Jem and he told her not to eat it. Many other days they saw items such as grey twine, a picture of a girl and boy carved in soap, a watch, and pennies.
Boo has changed in many ways throughout the novel. One encounter with Scout and Boo is Miss Maudie’s house fire. Scout was outide and say Boo, and it was cold outside. So he throw a blanket over, which says a lot about Boo. Also, Boo giving Boo and Jem gifts also shows he’s changed a lot and people just have to give him another chance. Another reason you have to walk in Boo’s shoes is how he hasn’t done anything bad in many years, and deserves another chance. The other character Scout has enocunters with is Mrs. Dubose. A horrible idea by Mrs. Dubose was to talk bad about Atticus. Atticus is their father and her saying that offends them greatly. Which shows she has disrespect to Atticus. Mrs. Dubose is known as a rude lady around Maycomb. Another encounter with Mrs. Dubose was when Scout and Jem had to read to her every day. They learned about her morphine addiction, which was really bad. Should would take it normally after they were done reading to her. So they started to read longer, so she would wait longer to take the morphine. Day after day they would read a little longer to help her over come her addiciton inch by
