Atticus Finch
Atticus Finch is a widower and father of two children (Jem and Scout). He works as a lawyer in Maycomb county and defends Tom Robinson on trial. Atticus is described as a kind hearted, extremely well mannered, humble man.
Atticus is used in the theme of racism, when defending Tom Robinson. He has always been a gentlemen, but when he was pointed to defend Tom Robinson's case, many turned on him. This show's how Atticus believes in the law and is above discrimination, unlike others.
A main event taking place in Atticus's life would be the trial in the midcenter of the book. This event was significant, because Scout mentions that Atticus was doing things she never saw him do. For example, he loosens his tie and talks in his normal voice to the jury, leveling with them.

In the novel, Mr. Underwood is the owner of the Maycomb Tribune newspaper. The night Atticus is sitting outside the jail, he is his protection. Atticus describes him as being racist. However, in his article about the Robinson case, he describes it as great injustice. The fact that he printed that for all of Maycomb to read took a lot of moral courage, since there were many racist folks who wouldn't agree.
