In the classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, there is a character who stands out as strikingly unrealistic amidst the backdrop of a realistic setting and storyline. This character is Arthur “Boo” Radley, a recluse who rarely leaves his home and is the subject of much speculation and fear among the residents of Maycomb, Alabama. Boo Radley’s portrayal is implausible in many ways, as he is portrayed as a mysterious and almost ghost-like figure who ultimately comes to the aid of the novel’s protagonists, Scout and Jem Finch. However, despite his fantastical traits, Boo Radley serves an important role in the novel, as he is related to the more realistic and plausible elements of the story, such as the themes of prejudice, morality, and the inherent goodness in humanity.
