Miss Maudie Atkinson shows her individualism by choosing
to remain unmarried after the death of her husband. She always has a sharp retort for
people who anger her with their overbearing religious beliefs (Chapter
16) or unfounded gossip (Miss Stephanie). Maudie displays her wisdom when she
tells Jem and Scout that Atticus "has life in him yet," and that "You'd be surprised"
(as they were) at their father's many unseen abilities (Chapter
10). She shows her integrity when she defends Atticus after the trial as a
man who was "born to do our unpleasant jobs for us (Chapter
22)." And Maudie shows her leadership ability when she scolds Alexandra and
then directs her to reveal "not a sign" of their emotional distress after hearing of
Tom's death at the Missionary Circle tea (Chapter
24).
