Everybody in Maybcomb County’s impression of me‚ Arthur “Boo” Radley‚ is through neighborhood fairy tales; I’m described as someone defenseless to society’s significant judgment. Everybody thinks of me as a monster‚ they’re all petrified of me. I can’t really say I blame them though; anybody would be crazy if they were kept in here as long as I’ve been.
