Why does Atticus misread the signs that Bob Ewell might try to hurt him or his family?
Atticus underestimates Bob Ewell's capacity for violence due to his belief in the goodness of people and his tendency to see the best in everyone. He also prioritizes empathy and understanding over suspicion and fear, which blinds him to the true intentions of someone like Bob Ewell. Additionally, Atticus may have been distracted by the trial and his own sense of moral duty, causing him to overlook the warning signs.

Jem see if you can stand in Bob Ewell's shoes a minute. I destroyed his last shred of credibility at that trial if he had any to begin with. and rdquo?
Atticus is teaching Jem the same lesson he taught Scout- You never really understand a person until you climb in to his shoes and walk around in them. These are the ugly facts of life that Atticus talks about a couple of pages on in the book ( when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life.) Atticus is putting his own lessons in to practice, so effectively this is repetition from very early on in the book (i'm not too sure about that) about standing in people's shoes. This builds tension as well because of the words associated with violence (destroyed, threatening, beating)- it makes us fear for Atticus's safety.
