    The document discusses the bravest character in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. It argues that Atticus Finch is the bravest character as he defends Tom Robinson, an African American man accused of rape, despite the risk of lynching mobs. As Tom is moved to jail, Atticus rejects demands to move aside and tells people to go home instead. However, the document also notes that some may disagree with Atticus being the bravest since a passage shows Atticus expressing fear when Scout unexpectedly joins him at the jail. Overall, the document claims Atticus is the bravest for standing up to defend Tom Robinson from being killed or hurt by mobs in jail.
