Scout wonders why Mr. Raymond chooses to live as an outcast and pretend to be drunk, when he is actually not. She is curious about his reasons for adopting this persona and living on the fringes of society.
Mr. Dolphus Raymond
Mr. Raymond helps Scout comfort Dill by explaining that sometimes people need to believe in something in order to cope with difficult situations, even if it's not true. He shows Scout that it's important to be understanding and supportive of others, even when their actions may seem unconventional. By sharing his own struggles and offering guidance, Mr. Raymond helps Scout to better understand Dill's emotions and find ways to offer comfort.
Scout and Dill learn that Mr. Raymond isn't an alcoholic. He has a black wife and some half-white half-black children. He acts drunk so that he can give people an excuse on why he lives the life he does. Not because he enjoys his life but because he's always drunk and doesn't know any better. He doesn't like the racial discrimination in Maycomb either.
Mr.Dolphus Raymond
Mr. Raymond teaches the children that people may not always be what they seem, and that there is often more to a person's actions or choices than meets the eye. He helps Scout and Jem understand that the world can be complex and that it's important to look beyond surface appearances.
