At the beginning of the novel, Scout has a short temper and is relatively inconsiderate of other people's feelings. She doesn't take into consideration that her teacher, Miss Caroline, is not familiar with the citizens of Maycomb because she is new to the area, and openly criticizes Walter Cunningham Jr. at the dinner table for pouring syrup all over his meal. Scout is quick to fight when she gets upset and argues with her brother on several occasions. As the novel progresses, Scout pays attention to her father's morally upright character and listens to Atticus' life lessons. Scout's various experiences impact her ability to show compassion and gain perspective on other people's points of view. She becomes tolerant of her racist, hypocritical neighbors and learns the value of all human beings. After witnessing Tom Robinson's trial, Scout begins to show empathy towards innocent beings and gains insight into other character's personalities. Scout treats Boo Radley with kindness and begins to understand that her Aunt Alexandra is really a loving individual who has a strong personality. Scout no longer seeks to fight others and solve problems through physical violence but exercises tolerance by treating everyone with respect.
