If I were to hand-pick the perfect dad, Atticus Finch would be him. Not only does he have to raise these two children without their mother, he also is a role model for an entire town. His most outstanding trait is courage -- that is why he is able to shrug off Bob Ewell's threats to his own person. However, when it comes down to Bob attempting to kill his children, Atticus becomes the proverbial "mother" bear. Atticus does understand Bob's world, however, in the gentle way he treated Bob's daughter, Mayella, at the trial. If we were all able to emulate Atticus in his reaction to the town "bully", Bob Ewell, and shrug it off, the world would certainly be a more peaceful place.
