SCOUT THE TOMBOY. After
deciding to get even with her cousin Francis for calling Atticus a
"nigger-lover,"
... I split my knuckle to the bone on his front
teeth. My left impaired, I sailed in with my
right.
SCOUT
THE LADY. At the missionary circle tea in Chapter 24, Scout isn't
impressed with the manners of many of the supposed ladies in attendance. But when she
sees Miss Maudie and Aunt Alexandra recover from learning of Tom's death and go about
serving the others, Scout is impressed.
After all, if Aunty could be a lady at a time
like this, so could
I.
SCOUT THE
LOVER. Dill was Scout's first love, and she misses him during the three
seasons he spends in Meridian, Mississippi.
... summer was the swiftness with which Dill
would reach up and kiss me when Jem was not looking, the longings we sometimes felt for
each
other.
SCOUT
THE PHILOSOPHER. Scout understood that the jurors had already made up
their mind about convicting Tom Robinson before the trial even
began.
Atticus
had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts
of men's hearts, Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened
her mouth and
screamed.
SCOUT
THE CLUELESS. Scout often repeats things she doesn't understand, such as
when she calls cousin Francis an "invective" usually meant for
women.
"Uncle
Jack... what's a whore-lady?"
