Aunt Alexandra and Atticus are polar opposites. Atticus is understanding, caring, thoughtful, brave, and so much more. Aunt Alexandra is proper, traditional, slightly stuck up, and hard headed. They both affect Scout in positive and negative ways.
Atticus and Aunt Alexandra are very different. The only similarity between them is that they are both part of the Finch family. Aunt Alexandra is obsessed with tradition and the family name. She pushes everyone to make the family look good, she cares very deeply about it. Atticus is very different from the family. He got an education, he thought for himself, he looked at things differently from others. He is very intelligent. Aunt Alexandra is very stubborn and blends in with the family. Their differences could go on and on.
Atticus is Scout's father, even though she calls him Atticus instead of dad. I think they do this to show respect towards their father. Aunt Alexandra is obviously Scout's aunt. She calls,her Aunty which could be showing some disrespect towards her. Atticus is very devoted to Scout, he loves and cares for her more than anyone (except Jem). He treats her with respect as well as Scout does. Atticus has an extremely positive effect on Scout. Aunt Alexandra on the other hand, pushes Scout to be feminine and be like every other lady in Maycomb. She doesn't like her ways of thinking towards colored people, she thinks it looks bad. Scout and Aunt Alexandra have an interesting relationship, they love and hate each other at the same time. Over all I think Aunt Alexandra has a negative effect on Scout.
