Dill functions as someone that can be used to bounce off
the tales of Boo Radley. The role of Dill was written in by the author with Truman
Capote in mind. He had been a childhood friend whose life had been a lot like
Dills.
Dill also enables the writer to use his lifestyle
to contrast it against the supportive family that Scout and Jem have. They do not have
a mother in their life but they have stability. Dill has his mother but she nor his
father are stable parents.
In addition, Dill is the
inocense of what is going on around him. He sees the cruel way that the people speak to
Tom Robinson and he has to leave the courtroom because it makes him cry. He states what
the reality should be. They should speak to Tom with some
respect.
