Question: Do you find the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird believable!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The characters are believable!. The dialogue is real!. The characters are well developed and flawed!. We can identify with any of them; we know people like them in our own lives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I cant remember how to put this properly, but i read somewhere that Atticus is a 'idealised character' like he's the perfect example of a person, who has no flaws in him!. When reading the actual book, you do see him as a 2 dimensional character!.

i would say Jem and Scout are really well characterised, because you really get their (especially Scout's) childhood misunderstandingsWww@QuestionHome@Com

I find the kids believable!.!.!. The adults, expecially Atticus (sp!?) are pretty black-and-white though, to prove the author's point!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes!.

Why!? Because I know how people were like then!. I'm a historian!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
