In Chapter 1 of To Kill a Mockingbird, the reader learns about Boo Radley and his family. The rundown Radley Place is on the same street where Jem and Scout live. No one has seen Boo Radley outside in many years. The reader learns, through Scout's recollections, that Boo got in trouble with the law as a child and his father imprisoned him inside of the house as a punishment. After that, Boo was not heard from for many years, but fifteen years later, he stabbed his father with a pair of scissors. The people of the town of Maycomb firmly believe that Boo is insane, but his father did not want to press charges against Boo because he did not want him to be sent to an asylum. After Mr. Radley died, Boo's brother Nathan came to live in the house with him. Despite this, Boo remains inside of the house.
