Answer 1

The townspeople believe that Boo Radley is a hateful and mean creature of a man and tend to make up Horror stories about him. But as the book progresses, it is discovered that Boo is just a discreet man who enjoys staying inside but has a clear view of right and wrong. He adores Jem and Scout and it takes their lives being endangered for him to fully emerge from the house one night. He kills Mr. Ewell to save them and then carries Jem home and makes sure he is taken care of before heading back home.

Boo stayed inside his house for the majority of To Kill a Mockingbird because of his dark past. He had stabbed one of his parents with a pair of scissors, and then went right on snipping away at newspaper.
