Similarities Between Alexandra And Atticus

The novel, to Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee includes the contradictory characters Atticus and Alexandra. These siblings have identifiable similarities and differences.

Atticus and Alexandra are similar in various ways. One similarity is the want to lead Jem and Scout into the right direction, but how they do it is in a different way. Atticus will lead them to the right paths, but Alexandra wants to shape the kids into her own image. Another similarity is they both listen to the radio.

A second difference is their views on their family. Atticus finds their family to be as equal as any other family, but Alexandra finds them to be better than anyone else in anywhere for that matter, but specially in Alabama. A third difference is their views on people in Maycomb, the differences between the two about Maycomb is quite similar to how they feel about their family, which is Atticus feels that everyone in Maycomb is equal, smart, and good people, but Alexandra thinks higher of herself than anyone in Maycomb.

I’ll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning
