* KiddyCoveralls: Scout Finch almost always runs around in overalls, as does her older brother Jem; they're rural FreeRangeChildren and with their father being widowed, don't have a mother to keep Scout acting like a lady (the Black cook does a decent job). Scout is outspoken, scrappy, a fighter, and direct in a way not expected of girls in the era (which bothers her Aunt Alexandra). In the film she's frequently portrayed in overalls.

* PrecisionFStrike: A slightly downplayed example. Atticus is normally very polite, articulate, and mild-mannered, and avoids mean-spirited insults and gossip even towards the more unsavory parts of Maycomb County. However, one point he's talking about Bob Ewell and says "whenever a white man does that (cheats) to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is ''trash''.” It's extremely notable and even Scout has a beat.

Unfortunately, ''Literature/GoSetAWatchman'' reveals that he does have the racist views common to this trope -- they were just more acceptable in the '30s than the '60s.

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: While more than well aware of Bob Ewell’s negative reputation and general unpleasantness, Atticus severely underestimates the petty lengths Ewell would go to get back at him for humiliating him, up and including attempting to murder his kids. Sheriff Tate has to spell out to him that yes, evil men like Bob Ewell do exist.
