Judge Taylor
Arthur and Nathan Radley’s father. According to Jem, Mr. Radley didn’t do anything, while Miss Maudie explains that Mr. Radley was religious to the point where he wasn’t interested in anything to do with the outside world, hence his family’s solitude and unwillingness to mingle in Maycomb. Due to possible abuse, he may be the reason for Arthur’s unwillingness to leave the house as an adult. He dies when Jem is a child, but Jem, Scout, and Dill resurrect him as a character in one of their summer dramas.
