Oh Dear, Mayella .

I could see nothing in Mayella's expression to justify Atticus's assumption that he had secured her whole-hearted cooperation. She was looking at him furiously. "Won't answer a word you say as long as you keep on mockin' me," she said. "Ma'am?" asked Atticus startled. "Long's you keep makin' fun of o' me" "Long'she keep callin' me ma'am an saying Miss Mayella. I don't hafta take his sass, I ain't called upon to take it."


Here we go again, once again women are treated like nothing , well atleast where she's from someone calls her "Ma'am" and she gets offended like they just've called her a bad word or something. Is Mayella treated so poorly that even the courtesy of the nicest man in town is offensive? Or is the real question is her father Bob Ewell , treating her so badly that accepting the kindness she deserves from a given man is wrong?

It was pictured like this
                                 Mayella                       Atticus
                                                                                                                               
                                                                             





Now a day's if someone called you Ma'am you're either elderly, married, someone somebody could look up too, or just having good manner's and showing respect. Most've the people I've met  don't usally take that offensively the way Mayella did. Maybe Mayella got offended because Ma'am makes her feel old or ancient like she's a senior citizen? Who know's maybe she was trying to get Atticus worked up about the whole trial itself , or maybe she didn't understand good manners's when they were shown.

In the trial Mayella had many diffrent answers to the question's Atticus was asking, she even agreed that her father, Bob Ewell, did act out of hand when he was in contact with whiskey.. She was very indesicive about her answers as well, when Atticus asked "Did he hit you?" Mayella replied " I don't know if he hit me or not .." then she quickly changed her mind saying "Yes, he did hit me." I wonder why she changed her mind so quickly, maybe it was because she knew her father was watching , and she knew what he was capable of if she didn't say what he told had happened the night of the accused rape?



Maury be like ;


                                                   
                                                                                                                                                                                                               



 I  believe that Mayella is the blame for Tom Robinson's sentence because she was cleary not telling the truth even after taking the oath and her story was kind of wishy-washy. I honestly don't know if she was guilty of what she did to Tom, or if she wanted to blame him for what had happened so her father could turn the other way and point the finger at Tom instead of her. Was she scared of Atticus that badly ? If so all Atticus had to do was scare her to get the truth.
