Jean Louise Finch A.K.A Scout Finch
a.k.a: Scout Finch
These overalls represent Scout in the fact that she is very much a tomboy, not only in the way she dresses, but also in the way she acts. Scout never wears dresses, only overalls and trousers, and her boy-ish behavior is very much influenced by her older brother, Jem.
Scout Finch does not have friends that are her age, or girls. She mostly spends time with Jem, her brother, and the boy that comes every summer, Dill, visit his aunt next door. She stands out in that way, being an independent female who does not truly care about what others think of her, and does whatever she thinks is right. Scout shows signs of rebellion because she does stand out as well, rebelling against her extremley feminine aunt and the others in her neighboorhood.
Scout is a very bright and intelligent 6 year old during the Great Depression in the South, who has to deal with the hardships of segregation and other peoples harsh comments on her and her family, throughout the whole entire book.
" At Christmas dinner, I sat at the little table in the dinning room; Jem and Francis sat with the adults at the dinning table. Aunty had continued to isolate me long after Jem and Francis graduated to the big table. I often wondered what she thouht I'd do, get up and throw something? Sometimes i thought of asking her if she would let me sit at the big table with the rest of them just once, I would prove to her how civilized i could be; after all, I ate at home every day with no major mishaps." (Lee, 81)
