calpurnia, nicknamed cal, is the finch family's african-american housekeeper, whom the children love and atticus deeply respects (he remarks in her defense that she "never indulged [the children] like most colored nurses"). she is highly regarded by atticus. she is an important figure in scout's life, providing discipline, instruction, and love. she also fills the maternal role for the children after their mother's death. calpurnia is a mother herself and raised her son, zeebo, to adulthood. calpurnia is one of the few black characters in the novel who is able to read and write, and it is she who taught scout to write. she learned how to read from miss maudie's aunt, miss buford, who taught her how to read out of "blackstone's "commentaries", a book given to her. aunt alexandra despised calpurnia because alexandra believed that calpurnia was not a "maternal figure" for jem and scout, especially for scout.

while everyone in the novel is filtered through scout's perception, calpurnia in particular appears for a long time more as scout's idea of her than as a real person. at the beginning of the novel, scout appears to think of calpurnia as the wicked stepmother to scout's own cinderella. however, towards the end of the book, scout views calpurnia as someone she can look up to, and realizes calpurnia has only protected her over the years. she is played by estelle evans in the film.
