Arthur Radley, also known as Boo, likely became reclusive as a response to the trauma and social ostracization he experienced. His secluded nature could be a coping mechanism for his difficult past and a way to avoid further pain or judgment from the community. Boo's reclusiveness also serves as a narrative device to highlight the theme of prejudice and the importance of empathy in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
