- - - - Atticus’s main role is that of an educator to his children, and to teach them moral justice in Maycomb.
      - Atticus’s decision to stand against the racial climate in Maycomb was an act of living his own integrity “If I didn’t, I couldn’t hold my head up in the town.” This display of morality suggests that Atticus remains true to his beliefs, as he stays committed to standing up for truth and justice.
      - He believes in showing integrity regardless of the circumstances of the situation, and the views from his peers. This is vital because, through this, he directly contradicts the behaviour and personality of other citizens of Maycomb as he considers all sides of the story whereas the others only care about how they are affected.
  - - - -Calpurnia’s role in the text is to serve as a mother figure to Scout and Jem.
      - -Scout’s opinion of her changes as the novel progresses.
      - Has a double life; acts one way in the Finch household but acts differently with her “Negro” friends (e.g. uses proper, formal language at the Finch household but uses very informal language and slang with the Negroes)
      - Is one of the few “Negros” who is literate and well-educated, demonstrating that a person’s personality and behavioural traits are not determined by their race but rather the privileges they have had access to and how they’ve been treated.
  - - - -Scout is recounting childhood experiences throughout the novel but is doing so at an older age, so she is essentially providing a more mature account of these experiences.
      - Her opinion on several things changes as the novel progresses, highlighting the understanding she gains over the course of the novel. For example, she initially disliked Calpurnia and saw her as being too strict or overbearing, but eventually grew fond of her and began appreciating her as a mother figure. Another example is her view of Boo Radley, as she starts off being mystified by him and fearful of his behaviour but ends up being more empathetic and understanding towards him and viewing him the same way as she viewed other townspeople.
      - Her role in the novel is that of the narrator, as well as being one of the main and most important characters in the text. The entire story is being told from her perspective and everything the reader learns about the town is based on the way Scout experienced those things.
