The Problem with Atticus Finch

Rider University Magazine: The Problem with Atticus Finch

Illustration for Rider University Magazine for an essay discussing Atticus Finch who is a hero in Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” but a neurotic white supremacist in her sequel, “Go Set a Watchman”. The essay made an argument that we should not abandon Atticus Finch but accept a unified version of him with his virtues and flaws. Sometimes the most obvious solution is the best and the metaphor of wings vs horns was a perfect fit for a complex character. Much thanks to AD Richard Losavio for a thought provoking project.
