I would choose Tom Robinson who has left a deep impression on me. To start off, I am one that would sympathise with him because he is a victim of prejudice. As all of us know, this book concentrates on prejudice and in his case; he is being prejudiced because he is a Black. Tom Robinson is being mocked at by the Whites, some calling him “nigger”. Despite being innocent, he was accused of rape just because he is a Black, this is definitely unfair in terms of morality and we are able to infer that the situation during that time was disastrous, with the Blacks and Whites separated into 2 different worlds. This character was introduced when he was held in custody, with men coming to look for him, a more detailed description of him came at the court case. The high point of this character has got to be the court case, where many whites saw him as guilty, only Atticus defending him. The low point would be due to the little support he got of being innocent, he gave up and decided not to persist on to verify his innocence, thus tried to escape from jail, being shot dead in the end while trying to do so.
