Miss Maudie- The Mother of To Kill a Mockingbird

Down-To-Earth

Motherly

Miss Maudie is very straight-forward and to the point.

WISE

Miss Maudie is a mother figure to Scout and Jem. She counsels, consoles, and guides them. There are instances where she bakes them cake, and allows them to play in her yard. She discourages others from talking about Atticus around the children.

"You are too young to understand it, but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of-oh, of your father" (pg. 60)

"What I meant was, if Atticus Finch drank until he was drunk he wouldn't be as hard as some men are at their best" (pg. 60)

"I simply want to tell you that there are some men in this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father's one of them." (pg 288)

One of many symbols that could represent Miss Maudie is the owl, which in itself is a symbol of wisdom. Miss Maudie is not overbearing in her advice, but is calm and constant.

Miss Maudie is a unfailing supporter of Atticus during and after the trial. One example of her support is found during the sewing circle, defending Scout against the vulgar humor of the Maycomb ladies.

Disregarding whatever prejudices she may have had, Miss Maudie advises Scout not to judge others, the Radleys in particular.
