To Kill a Mockingbird


The sole owner, writer, and editor of the Maycomb Tribune. According to Atticus, Mr. Underwood is an intense and profane man. He seldom leaves his home above the Tribune to report on any goings-on; people bring him the news instead. Though he’s racist and is one of the men who convenes at the Finches’ home in the days before Tom Robinson’s trial to speak to Atticus, he also stands up for what’s right and is ready to protect Atticus from a mob that gathers at the jailhouse. Following the jury’s guilty verdict and Robinson’s death at the hands of prison guards, Mr. Underwood takes a stand and insists that it’s unconscionable to kill a disabled person, invoking Atticus’s own adage that killing a mockingbird is a sin.
