Tom Robinson was the black man who, allegedly, raped Mayella Ewell. I hope I'm not spoiling the book for you, but the whole thing was a sham set up by Mayella's father. Mayella was seen talking to Tom, and that was very shameful back then, so Bob had to get rid of Tom.
Mr. Ewell and Mayella claimed that Tom Robinson beat and raped Mayella. The truth is that Mayella threw herself at Tom and Bob Ewell caught her and beat her.
Mayella Ewell falsely accused Tom Robinson, a black man, of raping her. In reality, Mayella tried to seduce Tom, and when her father caught her, she accused Tom to cover up her actions and protect her reputation. Tom was innocent, but due to the racial prejudice of the time, he was found guilty and ultimately killed.
The mistake that tom makes when Mr. Gilmer asked him to explain why he helped mayella was him responding by saying he felt sorry for her.
Tom Robinson testifies that Bob Ewell, Mayella's father, was the one who harmed her.
Mr. Ewell claimed that he saw his daughter, Mayella, being attacked by Tom Robinson, resulting in him coming to her rescue and Tom fleeing the scene. He testified that Tom was the one responsible for assaulting Mayella.
Tom Raped Mayella Ewell.
Mayella Ewell was so impressed with Tom Robinson's work that she couldn't help her self so she throws herself onto him and kisses him. Bob Ewell arrives and calls Mayella a whore and threatens to kill her so tom runs away leaving mayella to be beaten and raped by her father
In the story "To Kill a Mockingbird," the witnesses for Tom Robinson's crime are Mayella Ewell and her father, Bob Ewell. Mayella accuses Tom of assaulting her, but Atticus Finch reveals inconsistencies in their testimonies that suggest they are lying.
No. Why would you think that?
Mayella Ewell flirted and tried to seduce Tom Robinson. Unfortunately, her dad caught her and he was enraged that his white daughter was seducing a black man. That's why they blamed Tom Robinson. Back then, in society, it was shameful for blacks and whites to be together.
Tom says that he felt sorry for her. A black man is not "supposed" to feel sorry for a white woman.
