Miss Maudie also credits Aaticus as a Christian by saying “We’re so rarely called on to be Christians, but when we are we have Atticus to go for us.” This shows that Miss Maudie has a very high opinion of Atticus and moreover agrees with his plight in the Tom Robinson. It also reinforcedes the fact that Atticus is characterised as a saviour in the book. Throughout the novel Atticus has seemed to have come to a place drowning in evil and corruption to make a change. This shows Atticus in a very positive light and makes him appear as the main protagonist in the book. This is not done in a obvious manner amd he is not presented like an ordinary hero but it is still clear that he is intended to be seen as a saviour in Maycomb. It is suprising that Miss Maudie can notice that Atticus is doing good as most people highly disagreed with Atticus defending a blackman especially the women of Maycomb but this quote shows that she is different and has an active moral compass.
