Auntie

I'm just going to go ahead and say that Aunt Alexandra is my favorite. She's a snobby, old-fashioned, high-strung lady. I love it. The only purpose she seems to serve in the story is to reform the Finch name by making Scout into a lady. That's a real laugher.

I love how they just ignore her!

SPOILER?
Oh, I love her too! She's fits the perfect stereotype of a Southern woman. I wonder what life will be like now that she moved in with them!

I love what she's done to Francis. That kid is so obviously screwed up.

Better Than You said...

...not a spoiler.
It's in chapter 14. And 13. And 15.

better than you, you are WRONG! what alexandra does to francis is sick and an abomination to humanity! that poor kid will grow up to be some sort of mass murderer who mutates his victims by sewing on cow parts to them. how could you enjoy that character?

Better Than You said...

Francis doesn't have the balls (pardon) to kill anyone. If anything he would be the pasty little man in charge of a ring of hitmen. The one who's so scared of his own workers that he doesn't sleep at night. He might also grow up with a crush on his mother... nevermind, that's Hitler.
Anyway, hitmen. Scout will obviously be on that list.

Like peter pettigrew in Harry Potter! I thought Hitler had a crush on his niece, not his mom. that was the guy in "Pyscho"

Anyways, I would be more satisfied if scout like sucker punched him and then he surrendered his rat-like ways.

Better Than You said...

No, Hitler was definitely in love with his mom. Maybe his neice too... He was a great... I mean sick man. A sick man.

I personally like how Francis taunts her. And then how Scout keeps hitting him. It builds tension between them. I hope he pops up later.

Anyway, back to dearest Auntie. She's raised him well.

I as well love Auntie. She is what I would call the "pinical" of what a southern woman would be. Francis her little monster seems to win over your heart too, through his witty banter.
