 Virtuous Advocacy: Atticus Finch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Atticus, from what we are told and what we know about his character (not just what we read about it but what we know), will represent Tom Robinson zealously notwithstanding the virulent racism of the courthouse regulars and the jury that will be impaneled to hear Tom Robinson's case.
Atticus isn't oblivious to what his representation of Tom Robinson might cost him and his family, but he has the kind of character that leads to choices that don't turn on self-interest.
It is because Atticus has internalized the ethic of zealousness and can reconcile it with the person he is, that he is able, without anguishing over it, to tell the truth and withstand the pressure exerted on him as he stands against the racists (including his racist neighbors) in his community.
