How Does Bob Ewell Believe In To Kill A Mockingbird

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout and Jem both live in Maycomb, Alabama with their dad Atticus. They also meet their friend Dill who visits every summer. In the end of the book Jem and Scout are on their way home back from their school halloween pageant, then they get suddenly attacked by Bob Ewell. Then suddenly a stranger jumps in and is able to fight off Bob by stabbing him, and it turns out the stranger was Boo Radley. Jem suffered a broken arm from the fight and is knocked unconscious. This connects to earlier in the text where Scout and Jem both are curious about Boo Radley and fearing him at the same time. Now he is their savior and appears from thin air to save them from Bob who was planning to get revenge on Atticus

By making Boo seem terrible and evil without even seeing him created a lot of questions which were answer during the end of the text. This all started from a case of where Mayella Ewell and Bob Ewell falsely accused Tom Robinson of raping Mayella. During the court case Mayella and Bob Ewell win the case due to Maycomb’s racist white community. However Bob was made a fool of in front of everyone and now looks like a terrible person in front of everyone, thus he went to attack Atticus’ family resulting in Boo Radley killing him. The ending of the showed how many characters are like, their characteristics, and their personality. For example, in the beginning of the text he was a scary evil man, but turned out to be hero. Bob Ewell seem like he was innocent and trying to just get justice for her daughter who had been “raped”, however in the end of the text it turns out how evil he was and his secret goals. In addition, in the end Atticus believed that Jem had killed Bob, but was prepared to defend Jem in court whether or not he was guilty of

In the text it states “ ‘Scout,’ said Atticus, ‘nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose. It's hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody.’ ‘You aren't really a nigger-lover, then, are you?’ ‘I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody... I'm hard put, sometimes—baby, it's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you.’ “ This quote talks about during teaching Scout a lesson in about racism, Atticus also teaches the reader about racism. Racist people use the term nigger-lover to say that the person believes that african americans should be treated equally and for most people in Maycomb they disliked equality, but Atticus disagrees with the hatred and he argues for equality, loving everybody
