In "To Kill a Mockingbird", Atticus Finch is a character who upholds moral values of justice and equality. He defends Tom Robinson, a Black man falsely accused, because he believes everyone deserves a fair trial and equal treatment under the law. Option B is incorrect as Atticus has no interest in fame. Option C is wrong because his motivation is not pity but a belief in justice. Option D is incorrect as he takes the case out of his own sense of justice, not being forced by the court.
