    Atticus is the most courageous character in the novel. His actions directly demonstrate his courage: for example, he agrees to defend Tom Robinson because he wants to hold his head up high and go to church to worship without feeling guilt. He tells Scout that the one thing not open to public scrutiny is a person's conscience, and he intends to live with a clear conscience. He also talks about the courage of Mrs. Dubose at the end of chapter 11. He tells Jem and Scout how much he admires Mrs. Dubose because of her hard choices, which foreshadows the hard choices Atticus will make in part two.
