Quote (Ch1-4)

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” -Atticus Finch

So far this is in my opinion the most important thing that Atticus has said to Scout. It allows her to begin to empathize with others, and not judge someone until she begins to see something from their point of view. This helps her to understand why someone would do something that she would never consider doing. I have a feeling that this quote will have a profound effect on Scout’s life. I also believe that these words will have a massive effect on the book, and may even be part of the main message that the book is supposed to convey.
