Who’s the most important character in the story TKAM? Well I think the most important character in the story is Atticus. The reason I think that Atticus is the most important character is because he defends black people, he loses in court (but, he doesn't compromise his values), they trust him so the black community gave him food. Atticus defends black people so he does not make a lot of money. He was the only white lawyer that would defend them because black people weren’t treated well. “You know
would ever believe the black man. The community of Negros who live in and around Maycomb thank the Finches with a copious amount of food. “The kitchen table was loaded with enough food to bury the family: hunks of salt pork, tomatoes, beans, even scuppernongs.… Calpurnia said, “This was all ‘round the back steps when I got here this morning.

What is the importance of the character of Mrs Dubose in ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’? In To Kill A Mockingbird, Mrs Dubose is shown to have the same narrow mindset as the majority of the town. This can be seen when Mrs Dubose is on her porch and ranting to Jem and Scout about how from the towns perspective, Atticus is seen negatively. “‘Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for’” The superior tone used shows how Mrs Dubose thinks that Atticus truly is not worth anything, because
Maudie held the children in high regard. Miss Maudie allowed Jem, Dill, and Scout on her property at all times. They would often go to her house to talk or play in her yard. According to To KIll A Mockingbird, “We could play on her lawn, eat her scuppernongs if we didn’t jump on the arbor, and explore her vast backlot,” (page 56). This shows that she enjoyed the three kids and appreciated having them around her house. Most of the adults in Maycomb would have told them to leave, but she understood that
all of that Atticus was being nice to her. "Don't you say hey to me, you ugly girl! You say good afternoon, Mrs. Dubose!"(Page 103) She also said to Jem “Don’t you lie to me!” she yelled. “Jeremy Finch, Maudie Atkinson told me you broke down her scuppernong arbor this morning. She’s going to tell your father and then you’ll wish you never saw the light of day!
