Scout explains that her “battles {with Calpurnia} were epic and one-sided. Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence as long as I could remember.”

What does this quote demonstrate about Calpurnia’s character and role within the Finch family?

• She argues frequently with Scout because the young child is a trouble maker

• She does not like Scout and enjoys bossing her around

• She takes on the role of ‘mother’ and her rules are meant to be strictly followed

• She does not care much for the Finch children; therefore, she is often a tyrant within their home
