In To Kill a Mockingbird how does Dill's character act?

Answer 1

Since he is a kid, he is childish. He's also outgoing and playful on the outside though he has his moments of thoughtfulness. In the book, he doesn't have the best home life either so he's kinda sad about that.

Answer 2

Charles Baker "Dill" Harris

Jem and Scout's best friend, primarily over the summertime. His goal throughout the novel is to get the reclusive Boo Radley to come out of his house, which he hasn't left in years. For the first few summers the children concoct many plans to lure him out, until they are finally reprimanded by Atticus. Dill promises to marry Scout, and they become "engaged". Dill ran away from home the summer of the trial because he felt unwanted, and was allowed to stay with the Finches for a while.

Unlike Scout and Jem he lacks the security of family love. He is unwanted and unloved by his parents; "They do get on a lot better without me, I cannot help them any". As Francis, another Finch from the novel, says, "He hasn't got a home, he just gets passed around from relative to relative." Even Miss Rachel, with whom he stays over the summer, is not a woman deserving of a child's trust and love. He is well aware of her drinking habits. He doesn't have a father, he doesn't know where he lives or when he'll come back, if he does.
