Scout finds fault with her father, Atticus, in many ways
at the beginning of Chapter 10 of To Kill a Mockingbird. She finds
him "feeble," partly because he is much older--Atticus is nearly 50--than the fathers of
their other friends. She thinks his advanced age reflects on his "abilities and
manliness." Atticus is too old to play football with Jem, and he can't "do anything." He
wears glasses and is nearly blind in his left eye. Additionally, he doesn't hunt, smoke,
drink, fish or play poker. All he does is "sit in the livingroom and read." In short,
Atticus is boring.
