Jem And Scout Character Analysis

Throughout the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Jem Finch matures by learning life lessons from many different people and events.

Throughout To Kill a Mockingbird Jem and Scout change tremendously. They do not change physically, but rather mentally. Their maturation can be seen as the novel progresses and by the end of the story they seem to be two completely different people. As the novel goes on, the reader can see that Jem and Scout mature even when the rest of the town does not.

For a while in the book the author makes it seem that scout is a boy, when she is really a girl. This is one of their differences, Jem is a boy and scout is a girl. The author does not state that Scout is a girl until page 50 when Jem says “I swear Scout, sometimes you act so much like a girl it's mortifying.” Jem is very much a tomboy. She never wheres dresses she dresses like a boy. These things make you jump to the conclusion that the character is a boy. Another difference is that Jem is four years older than scout and is more mature than scout. Like when Dill ran away from home and Scout did not want their dad to know Jem knew it was the right thing to do ( Lee 141).Jem knew that it was not right for Dill to run away without telling anyone so Jem got Atticus, which was the mature thing to do.Some parts in the story (mostly after the second part) you start to notice that Jem is starting to mature and grow up. Lastly one of the differences is that Scout fights but Jem doesn't. I know this because up to the parts I have read Jem has no gotten into a fist fight with anyone other than his sister. He is someone who knows how to control his anger unlike

As the novel progresses, both Jem and Scout are shown to mature, this is due to "To Kill A Mockingbird" being a bildungsroman novel. Through this coming of age process, we are actually shown Jem’s new found maturity enabling him to find empathy and acceptance regarding the Boo Radley myths, as he finally took his father’s advice to “climb into someone else’s skin and walk around in it” when he was explaining to Scout his epiphany that he “[is] beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut in his house all this time. It’s because he wants to stay inside.”

In conclusion, jem is changing in the book but however scout is changing more than jem.
