In 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Tom relates his encounter with Mayella and her father. After she asked him to perform a task for her and he has completed it, she appears to make a pass at him, asking him for a kiss. Owing to the racial climate at the time, Tom had no choice but to refuse. Unknown to the couple, her father had allegedly witnessed the encounter and became incensed calling Mayella a â??whoreâ??. Tom fled for his life.
