Do we like Scout Finch?

A character from To Kill a Mockingbird (1960)

Our score: 9 out of 10. Yes. She's fierce, honest and endlessly curious, and she learns empathy as she grows. We'd back her, even if she does throw a punch first.

Scout is a six-year-old girl living in Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930s. She lives with her older brother Jem, their lawyer father Atticus and the cook Calpurnia. She's clever, outspoken and happier in overalls than in dresses. The novel is her grown-up recollection of three years of her childhood.

With Jem and their friend Dill, Scout gets caught up in the neighborhood's fascination with the reclusive Radley house. She also starts school, where her reading skills and blunt manner make trouble. At home, Atticus teaches her to see things from other people's point of view.

We give Scout a high score because her moral compass grows steadily. Her quick temper sometimes gets her into fights, but her honesty and her refusal to look down on anyone make her easy to root for. She sees the town's unfairness clearly, and she learns courage and compassion from it.
