Mayella Ewell In To Kill A Mockingbird
In “To Kill A Mockingbird” the question about Mayella Ewell is if she is powerful or not powerful. Mayella is in a state of loneliness where she barely knows how the civilization outside her home is. What makes things worse is that her father, Bob Ewell, takes advantage of her, she lives behind a dump in an abandoned Negro cabin with pigs, and is felt sorry for by an African-American, Tom Robinson. After looking into her situation, she is not powerful due to her class and how she is treated but how she also cannot defend herself.
In “To Kill A Mockingbird” the setting is based in a little town called Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb is so small that it is also its own county in Alabama. Maycomb is very solitary with very few inhabitants, which include the main characters, Atticus, Scout, and Jem. However, there are other characters that stand-out as well, such as The Ewells and Tom Robinson. But for this report there will be spotlight on only one character and that is Mayella Ewell.
Mayella Ewell is a female with a very strong attitude. Mayella can get some things to go her way because of her gender and attitude. But there are things that do not go her way, such as wanting to turn in her father in for abusing her,

Also, while in court Mayella was felt sorry for by Tom Robinson and that threw everyone off because African-Americans were considered a lower level compared to Caucasian people who were in a higher level. Now to better understand this concept, is that when Tom said that he felt sorry for Mayella, people thought that he was most likely considering her on a much lower level than him when it was supposed to be the other way around but there was already enough damage

    Tom Robinson is an African American male who was wrongly accused of raping a poor, white woman, named Mayella Ewell. During the Great Depression, the Jim Crow laws (DBP Jim Crow laws 7) were put in place to segregate white people and people of color. The laws restricted intimacy and most everyday interactions between white women and black males. The laws were technically applied to everyone during the 1930’s, but males were especially protective of the women in the south. In a series of events, Mayella Ewell is able to gain power by using her race, gender, and class against Tom Robinson. Mayella is able to use people’s outlook on African Americans to her advantage in court and also the fact that she is a female. Although Mayella’s class isn’t her strongest suit, in the eye of the jury and everyone else in the South, no matter how poor you are as long as you are white you will have authority over African Americans. Knowing this, Mayella is able to find a solution to her father’s sexual abuse by gaining power through Tom Robinson.…

In the beginning of the story the narrator describes the town as “Maycomb, some 20 miles east of Finch's landing”(5), and “Maycomb was an old town…” (6) also “nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb”(6).

    Given Mayella’s race, you could say that she is a powerful person. As stated before, in that time period, white people had more power blacks. Black people were treated unfairly. For example, Reverend Sykes tells Jem that he “ain’t ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white man.”. Even though Tom Robinson was innocent, he was convicted mainly because he was an african american. Race gave Mayella an advantage as she tried to accuse Tom Robinson of raping her.…

    An example of this is when Tom states that Bob Ewell says to Mayella “you goddamn whore, I’ll kill ya (Doc.B)”. This shows that Mayella gets verbally abused.

    Earnest Hemingway states that “all things truly wicked start from innocence.” This quote applies to Mayella Ewell as she corrupted herself and her innocence throughout To Kill a Mockingbird. Though Mayella may seem wholesome, she is a wolf in sheep’s clothing due to her part in the death of a virtuous, innocent man and then her part in the tormenting of the dead man’s wife. In chapter twenty-five, Scout realizes that “Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed,” (Lee 323) while she was pondering how a clearly innocent man could be tried as guilty (Lee 323). This quote illustrates how Mayella seemingly did worse than kill a man; she also had him declared guilty of a false crime, staining his reputation. To outsiders it will seem as if he was righteously killed, and what…

Although it is hard to pity Mayella after the inhumane thing she did, she is worthy of pity, for what she did was not because of her own will, but because of the circumstances. Mayella Ewell, never having gotten a single spec of attention in her lonely life, felt important when with Tom. He cared about her and showed interest in what…
