Atticus and Tate are arguing about how Bob Ewell died. Atticus is convinced the Jem stabbed Ewell as he tried to protect Scout from attack. At the same time, Heck knows that Bob did not die because of Jem, but Boo Radley. He also knows that if Boo Radley were trialed for murder he would be discriminated against and would be a traumatic and painful experience. So, Tate tells Atticus that Bob Ewell had fallen on his knife while in a drunk stupor. Though Atticus does not agree, Scout is convinced that Tate is correct, telling Atticus that sending Boo Radley to trial would be "sort of like shootin' a mocking-bird.

Why doesn't Atticus take offense at Mrs Dubose's insults?

I think that Atticus realizes that Mrs. Dubose is only saying what is on her mind. Since he is older then Jem and Scout, Atticus knows that what Mrs. Dubose is saying is what many people in Maycomb also believe. She is old and not quite aware of her insulting remarks and Atticus knows that.

Aunt Alexandra is rather pushy, and she wants to raise Scout differently than she's currently being raised.

How does Atticus feel about maycomb after the trial?

I don't think this is the right question becacause the jury that made the decision was not from Maycomb. They were from Old Sarum. But I believe that Atticus was glad because the jury took al ong time to come to a decision on the final saying of the trial. He thinks that Maycomb is going to change, but is going to take sometime. Atticus thinks that people just don't understand things. He thinks that Maycomb people judge too quickly.
