Harper Lee's use of Scout's first-person narrative is
probably the strongest stylistic example in To Kill a
Mockingbird. Using the six-year old Scout as the narrator gives the entire
story a simple, innocent outlook on many of the more serious situations; but by also
having Scout tell her story from an adult perspective (apparently many years in the
future), the author is also able to present aspects from a more mature outlook as well.
The reader is presented a childlike view of the terrifying Boo Radley early in the
story, but we are allowed to see the changing opinions about him as Scout grows older.
Scout presents a matter-of-fact description of the Tom Robinson trial, but Lee is also
able to use her adult perspective to create more symbolic aspects in the aftermath of
the verdict. We are allowed to see Scout's reactions in both hindsight and present-day
view; adult and childlike language are also possible. Although the adult Scout who
retells the story remains unchanged, we are able to witness Scout, the child, progress
and mature through the course of the novel.
