Arthur Radley (Boo)

Boo's name mentioned right away at the start of the story in an intriguing way.

Scout describes him as a malevolent phantom. Many rumours circulated about him and children were afraid to go near his house.
In reality, he is a recluse who was emotionally damaged by his cruel father. Mr Radley preffered to shut up his son than send him to an industrial school as a punishment for schoolboy pranks
1. His older brother, Nathan, took over when his father died.
He is intelligent.
1. One of the items he leaves in the knothole for the children is a school spelling medal and he skilfully carves soap figures.
From his house, he can see the whole of life in Maycomb.
He grows to love the children next door whom he watches- Jem and Scout
1. He leaves them presents in the knothole.
2. He fixes Jem's trousers.
3. He covers Scout with a blanket during the fire.
4. At the end, he saves their lives
Scout only realises what life is like for him when she guides him home late on the night.
