SCOUT.  In the final scene, Scout comes to the realization that Stoner's Boy (a character in the novel that Atticus is reading to her) has been misjudged--just like Boo. "...when they finally saw him, why he hadn't done any of those things... Atticus, he was real nice..." (Chapter 31)

JEM.  In Chapter 10, Jem and Scout wonder about their father's "feeble" lack of abilities. After they find out he is the "deadest shot in Maycomb County," but has never bragged about it, Jem realizes that "Atticus is a gentleman, just like me!"  (Chapter 10)

ATTICUS.  Atticus' most famous quote is the advice he gives to Scout about prejudging people. "You never really understand a person untill you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."  (Chapter 3)

CALPURNIA.  When Scout questions Calpurnia about her "nigger-talk," Cal explains that "Now, what if I talked white-folks' talk at church, and with my neighbors? They'd think I was puttin' on airs to beat Moses." (Chapter 12)

DILL.  Dill explains why Boo has decided to live his life inside his house. "Maybe he doesn't have any place to run off to." (Chapter 14)

MISS MAUDIE.  Maudie reiterates Atticus' previous explanation to Scout about mockingbirds. "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." (Chapter 10)

BOO RADLEY.  Boo only speaks one line in the entire novel, shortly after saving Jem and Scout from the hands of Bob Ewell. He asks Scout, "Will you take me home?" (Chapter 31)

DOLPHUS RAYMOND.  Taking a break from the trauma of the trial, Scout and Dill get an explanation from the mysterious Mr. Raymond about race relations in Maycomb. "Cry about the hell white people give colored foks, without even stopping to think that they're people, too." (Chapter 20)

MISS CAROLINE.  Scout's inexperienced teacher rashly condemns Atticus' own teaching skills. She tells Scout, "Your father does not know how to teach. You can have a seat now." (Chapter 2)

BOB EWELL.  After spitting in Atticus' face, Bob prompts a fight. "Too proud to fight, you nigger-loving bastard?" Atticus calmly responds, "No, too old." (Chapter 23)
