The novel begins with Scout remembering the events that led to his brother, Jem, breaking his arm when he was around 13 years old. She gives the readers a background of her family which is a very long line of southerners that trace their origin from a fur trader called Simon Finch from Cornwall, England. She narrates how Finch moved up the Alabama River after crossing the Atlantic and settled in Finch's Landing, 40 miles above Saint Stephens, Alabama, where her father Atticus and his two siblings were raised.

Scout then recounts back to present day Maycomb, Alabama, where she lives with her father who is widowed, ten-year-old Jem and their family cook Calpurnia. It is summertime, and there is a lot to do so six year old Scout, and Jem play around the house, but not further than the boundaries Calpurnia has forbidden them not to roam past. Their neighborhood is introduced here, including the Radley Place. The Radleys, living three doors down from Finch home, had a younger boy named Arthur (Boo) who got involved with the wrong crowd and got sentenced to a state school. His father Mr. Radley asked the judge to release Boo into his custody and placed him under house arrest for 15 years.

One day Boo stabbed Mr. Radley in the leg with scissors, and he stormed out of the house shouting that Boo was hell bent on killing them. The police were called and found Boo working on his scrapbook and locked him away in a courtroom basement. He was later released back into house arrest, and when Mr. Radley died, his older son Nathan came back home from Florida to keep Boo under house arrest. For years the stories about Boo and Radley became more exaggerated, but the people of Maycomb remained scared of the Radleys. Boo was claimed to roam at night, crimes all over town were attributed to Boo, plants that died from the cold were said to have been breathed on by Boo, and pecans which fell from Radley trees were deemed as poisonous. When Jem and Scout meet Charles Baker Harris (Dill), who moved next door with his aunt Rachel Haverford, he becomes interested in the stories, strikes an instant friendship with the two brothers and makes a planned attempt and lures Boo out of the house.

It builds the framework by introducing several characters and settings of living and also the themes of class, race and equality versus inequality. Distinctions of class mean a great deal to Alexandra but doesn’t really matter to Atticus, Jem or Scout Finch. The position of the Finch family in the society has its roots on slavery. Their ancestor, Simon Finch, ignored his religious teachings and bought slaves who built his home. Scout is still young, innocent and pure and is not bothered by the notions of race, class and other problems that the adults live with. Whenever she, Dill and Jem think of morality, they only think about good and evil. They view Boo Radley as evil, deriving their stance from the local gossip about him, and are curious and very eager to see what evil looks like. The theme of equality versus inequality is brought up in this chapter with the view of the children about Boo. The society perceives Boo Radley as someone who is different from them and they instantly judge him.
