Across
- 2. Boo Radley represents the [ ] because - while he lives in town - he is never seen by the town. He is beyond socially awkward and comes from a troubled past.
- 4. Despite his innocence, Tom Robinson is found guilty in the trial. He takes the blame for the behavior of Mayella (kissing a black man) and her father (hitting his daughter) and pays the price with his death.
- 7. Mrs. Dubose, with her final attempts to withdraw from her morphine addiction despite her inevitable death, could be considered a character seeking [ ]
- 8. Scout & Jem represent this character archetype - until the trial of Tom Robinson and ensuing plot events lead to maturity
- 10. Atticus represents this archetype because of his incredible wisdom. He does pass this wisdom on; however, he doesn't die.
Down
- 1. Interestingly, the story ends in this season, at which point we have seen the “decline” of Jem’s & Scout’s innocence - after the trial’s end and Tom’s death & through the violence of Mr. Ewell
- 3. Dolphus Raymond - who pretends to be the town drunk - represents this character, who can use deceit to defy conventional behavior (which, in his case, is having a black family outside of town)
- 5. This season marks the joys of youth, which can be seen in the innocent games that Scout, Jem, and Dill play
- 6. Both Calpurnia and Miss Maudie fit the archetype of the earth [ ] (aka the good [ ]) because they are warm and compassionate, nurturing Scout & Jem throughout the novel. Miss Maudie also connects to the fertility element with her green thumb.
- 9. In all but a technicality, Dill represents the [ ] archetype. Virtually abandoned by his mother to stay with his aunt in the summer, and emotionally abandoned at other times, Dill craves attention and acceptance, as seen by his tall tales.
