I may not be correct but Scout learns from Atticus from the start of the book till the trial to judge others fairly and that if she wants to understand someone thoroughly she has to 'climb into other people's skin and walk around with it'. She does this to Mayella and finds out that Mayella is a lonely girl. She has no friends as she is too poor to mix with the whites but can't mix with the blacks because she is a white, therefore when Tom Robinson treats her well she thinks he likes her therefore lost her mind when she tried to kiss him. Hope I answered your question!
What else can I help you with?

Why is mayella's reaction to atticus' behavior in court ironic?
Mayella's reaction to Atticus' behavior in court is ironic because Atticus is the only person actually trying to defend her and seek justice for her, yet she is hostile towards him. Despite his efforts to help her, Mayella feels threatened by Atticus' questioning and sees him as an enemy due to her prejudiced views.
What point does atticus try to establish through Mayella's testimony or lack of it?
Atticus aims to show that Mayella is not a reliable witness by poking holes in her story and highlighting inconsistencies. He tries to establish that Mayella's accusations against Tom Robinson are a result of her own personal issues and not based on factual events. Atticus demonstrates that her testimony lacks credibility, bringing into question the integrity of the case against Tom.
Why did mayella become angry with atticus when he questioned her?
When Mayella is on the stand the question Atticus asks that makes her furious is "How?" She has just described how Tom Robinson choked and beat her, and Atticus asks Tom to stand up. This draws the jury's attention to the fact that Tom's left arm is useless, making it highly unlikely he was Mayella's attacker. When Tom stands, Atticus asks Mayella if Tom is the man who attacked. When she responds that he is, Atticus asks, "How?"
How did Mayella react to the politeness of Atticus?
Mayella Ewell was surprised and taken aback by Atticus's politeness during the trial. She had likely never encountered someone treating her with respect and courtesy before, which made her uncomfortable and defensive.
