Bob and Mayella Ewell.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!

Because Mayella kissed Tom Robinson, a black man, she felt like she needed to "destroy the evidence" (Atticus's Words) which in this case is Tom Robinson.

Bob Ewell saw what happened and because he was afraid that his pride would be lost, he tried to make it seem like Robinson was in the wrong.

And then at the end of the book, Bob Ewell tries to kill Jem and Scout, trying to hurt Atticus in a way that was incredibly cowardly

  • harming his children instead of facing him like a man.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!
