Scout
Scout, as always, is the narrator of the chapter. She explains the scene from the view of a child, because that is what she was at the time. However, in certain scenes you notice the adult Scout is speaking, not the child. While reading this chapter you realize how strong and mature Scout was for a six year old child. She gained a better understanding of the court scene when she was older, but even at the time she was aware of her surroundings and what was about to eventuate. When Jem is speaking to the Reverend about the rape charge, and Scout is overhearing, you realize again that Scout is just a child, not quite old enough to fully grasp the trail that is unfolding before her, but wise enough to know that her father is a very brave man to be protecting the life of a Negro man charged with rape. This chapter shows you many things, and Scouts intelligence is one of them.
