TKAM Blog Prompt 6

Harper Lee’s novel is full of interesting and richly painted characters. Which character was your favourite and why?

I think my favourite character would be Boo Radley. Boo Radley, despite not playing much of an important role in the story, but was integral to how the story is being started and ended. (My views are quite different from TKAM Blog Prompt 4) The presence of Boo Radley allows the readers to see this story from a different perspective; he plays an important role by bringing out how people are prejudiced against him. The presence of him in the house also brings out to readers the serious consequences of victims of prejudice face. He is painted as a horrible character in the start, from the P.O.V of the Maycomb citizens; however, he is painted as one that has a kind heart, thus changing the perspectives of the Finch household. His presence in this story highlights the scenario of prejudice, what happens behind the scenes, what are the consequences, why people prejudiced against him are and most importantly, what is the real truth.
