Mayella Ewell
August 01, 2011I find that Mayella Ewell is quite an interesting character in the novel To Kill A Mocking Bird.
"Mayella Ewell - Bob Ewell’s abused, lonely, unhappy daughter. Though one can pity Mayella because of her overbearing father, one cannot pardon her for her shameful indictment of Tom Robinson." Retrieved from:Sparknotes
She hungers for love and affection which she cannot get from her father Bob Ewell.Her beastly father is the one who has contributed to her dull,sorrowful and harsh life.She is nineteen years old but she seems to have no friends.She does not even know what FRIENDS are.The way she speaks in the courtroom shows that she is not a well-educated person.She can be considered as a not civilised individual either.She is so desperate that she plans to have an intimate conversation with Tom in her house. For example,"took me a slap year to seb'm nickels,but I done it.They all gone to town." She lets all the children go to the town to buy ice-cream so that they won't disturb her and Tom.Unfortunately,her plan fails because her father suddenly come back and they are caught by red handed at the scene.
*Life is so wonderful because we get the precious chance to go to assembly very early in the morning daily.
