Describe Miss Maudie Atkinson. Is she considered a typical Maycomb female? What do the children think of her?

Miss Maudie
Atkinson is anything but a typical Maycomb white woman. She thinks for herself, treats all
people as equally human, and shares 's conviction that Tom Robinson deserves a fair trial. She
is one of the most likablein the book.

Miss Maudie loves to be outside
gardening. She finds her house a burden and feels liberated when it burns down. This symbolizes
that, unlike the typical Maycomb lady, she is not wedded to the past. She is willing to give up
old prejudices and outmoded ways of thinking rather than clinging to the so-called glory days
when the South was in its heyday.

The children love Miss...
