Harper Lee [SEP] Autobiographical details in the novel
Like Lee, the tomboy Scout of the novel is the daughter of a respected small-town Alabama attorney. Scout's friend, Dill, was inspired by Lee's childhood friend and neighbor, Truman Capote; Lee, in turn, is the model for a character in Capote's first novel, "Other Voices, Other Rooms", published in 1948. Although the plot of Lee's novel involves an unsuccessful legal defense similar to one undertaken by her attorney father, the 1931 landmark Scottsboro Boys interracial rape case may also have helped to shape Lee's social conscience. While Lee herself downplayed autobiographical parallels in the book, Truman Capote, mentioning the character Boo Radley in "To Kill a Mockingbird", described details he considered autobiographical: "In my original version of "Other Voices, Other Rooms" I had that same man living in the house that used to leave things in the trees, and then I took that out.
