Aunt Alexandra role starts to be more prominent in the next chapters. She stays in Atticus's house because she believes that the children need a feminine influence, or a feminine model. She is more worry about Scout, since she has not been able to do or wear a feminine outfit, she believes that she could be of great help to change her attitude. Aunt Alexandra gets used to Maycomb. She becomes friends with the Maycomb ladies, were she attends meetings where they drink coffee and eat cake. She is very proud to be a Finch, and doesn't want Jem and Scout to lack pride to be a potential excellent Finch. Since so many families have lived in the town, they see generation by generation with the special characteristics that represents them. Atticus try to explain this to Scout, but all he does is offends her and make her cry. She feels like Atticus does not like how she is, but the truth is that Atticus does like her like she is but aunt Alexandra wants to have a perfect image of the family and make the children feel bad for who they are.
