Atticus is a success because he raised two mature, responsible, compassionate kids and he got the people of Maycomb to think about race differently. He is also a failure because he did not get Tom Robinson acquitted. On balance, Atticus is more of a success because he made progress toward racial justice.
Atticus is a wise man, committed to justice and equality, and his parenting style is based on fostering these virtues in his children—he even encourages Jem and Scout to call him “Atticus” so that they can interact on terms as equal as possible.
