What are important things that people say to/about Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird?

ABOUT


Bob Ewell.  Bob obviously doesn't care for Atticus after
he and Mayella were exposed on the witness stand, and he doesn't like Atticus's choice--or
color--of clients, either.

"Too proud to fight, you
nigger-lovin' bastard?"  ()


Mayella Ewell.  Mayella is frightened of Atticus, and she
mistakes his sincere politeness for sarcasm.

"Your
fancy airs don't come to nothin'--your ma'amin' and Miss Mayellerin' don't come to nothin', Mr.
Finch.  ()

Miss
Maudie. 
Maudie is proud of her neighbor, and she recognizes his value to the
community. She tellsthat

"... there are some men in
this world who were born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father's one of them. 
()

Miss Stephanie. 
Miss Stephanie was quick to report the news about Atticus's confrontation with
Bob Ewell, and she enjoyed how Atticus managed to keep a cool sense of humor after being spat
upon.

Miss Stephanie said you had to hand it to Atticus
Finch, he could be right dry sometimes.  (Chapter 23)


Jem.  After watching Atticus take out
the mad dog with a single shot, Jem learns that his father isn't so helpless after all. He also
learns a lesson about humility in the process.


"Atticus is a gentleman, just like me."  ()
