Atticus Finch can be tolerant and intolerant from time to time. Most of the time he is intolerant is because his children, Scout and Jem, does not listen to him. Such include, asking Jem to go home and Jem does not, and asking Scout to apologise to her aunt when she refused to. However, Atticus is also tolerant at some times, such as talking to his friend, Mr Tate. Atticus looked at Mr Tate as if he appreciated what he said, when he said that Jem did not kill Bob Ewell, and when talking about neigbours.
This can show that Atticus is a good father and a man who is able to show respect for others, since he is able to educate Scout and Jem by teaching them how to differentiate what is wrong or right and teaching them morales like how they should not judge a book by its cover, instead of just talking to them like what he would to friends. This also shows that he does not mind what others do, but he would not allow is children to become one who does not follow the law.
