Question

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. it's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what. - atticus finch meaning

Answer 1

atticus finch is a guy in the novel"how to kill a mocking bird' and it means here that courage is not some play but is something that makes a man quit even before he starts but goes through  the situation under any circumstances and succeeds in it.
