Atticus Finch displays many aspects of Illusion vs. Reality in the novel. Atticus keeps many secrets hidden from his children. One of the first secrets he reveals in the novel is the marksmanship skills he shows when he is forced to kill the mad dog. Miss Maudie says after Atticus has killed the mad dog, “Atticus Finch is the deadest shot in Maycomb County in his time” (129). Atticus did not want his children to know because he wanted to show them that the courage he possessed was not all about being able to shoot a gun.
Most people in the world nowadays describe a hero as a superpowered human saving the world from an evil grimace. Unfortunately, since those kinds of heroes aren’t real, we have heroes that come in the form of people helping others, people doing things they wouldn't usually do for others, and spreading kindness and respect. With that in mind, there are fictional characters as well in literature that are also heroes just in their own way of fighting for what is right, just without their hands. For example, the character Atticus Finch from the famous novel “To Kill A Mockingbird” is an iconic hero and fits this kind of hero perfectly.
In the beginning of the book, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the character Atticus gives the impression of an intelligent and selfless man, revealing the theme that truly intelligent people think about others. For example, on page 39 Lee explains, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (Lee 39). This proves my theme and character impression because it shows that Atticus understands more than judging off of one's actions. He understands that in order to fully understand a person, you have to almost become them and really see things from their perspective. He understands that people do not take action with no rhyme or reason, and that there is a purpose for everything.
