Atticus looks like his stomach hurt when he proves his case against Mayella because he experiences a mix of emotions, including empathy for Mayella's situation and the realization that he has dismantled her false accusations. This emotional conflict may manifest physically as discomfort or tension in the stomach area. Additionally, the stress and pressure of the courtroom trial may have taken a toll on Atticus, causing physical symptoms such as stomach discomfort.

Atticus wants to establish there was never a doctor called to verify Mayella's injuries and to get Heck's description of her injuries (on which side of her body were the majority of the bruises). Later he proves that Tom Robinson couldn't of assaulted Mayella because the side of her face that the bruises were on (the right) would of required Tom to hit her with the arm that he disabled years ago (the left), and could no longer use. After that he proves that Bob Ewell is left handed, and he was far more likely to of been the one to hit her.


What does Atticus prove by having Bob Ewell write his name on the envelope?

Atticus proves that Bob Ewell is left handed. Since most of Mayella Ewell's injuries were sustained on the right side of her face, then she was most likely beaten by a left handed person. Tom Robinson couldn't use his left hand because of an accident when he was younger, therefore, he couldn't have beaten Mayella.


How does Atticus prove that Ewell is the one that hit Mayella?

Atticus proves that Bob Ewell is the one who hit Mayella by highlighting inconsistencies and lies in his testimony during the trial. Atticus demonstrates that Ewell is left-handed, which is consistent with the bruises on Mayella's face indicating a left-handed assailant. Additionally, Atticus questions Ewell about his motives and reveals that he is seeking revenge on Tom Robinson and his family.


What does Scout believe the reason to be for Atticus making Bob Ewell write his signature?

Atticus is a very smart man, and there was a good reason for this. Atticus asks Heck Tate which side was bruised, and it was Mayella's right. He asked bob to sign, so he could see if Bob is left handed, which he is. So if you think about it, someone who is left hand dominant will punch on the RIGHT side of someones face. Atticus proves that Bob beat up mayella by doing this.


How does Atticus show that Tom Robinson could not have committed the crime he is accused of?

Atticus asks Mr. Bob Ewell to write his name on a piece of paper while he is cross examining him. Mr. Ewell writes his name with his left hand, so he is left handed, which proves that Tom Robinson could not have raped and beaten Ms. Mayella Ewell, because Tom Robinson's left arm is completely crippled from an accident he had long ago. Ms. Mayella Ewell had been beaten on the right side of her body. Atticus shows that it was Bob Ewell who beat Mayella, but due to the racism in Maycomb, Tom Robinson was wrongly convicted as a black man.

Is it true or false that Tom Robinson is found not guilty for raping Mayella?

False. Tom Robinson was found guilty (even though he was not) and was sent to prison. Although Atticus proves that Tom could not have committed the crime of which he has been accused, he is nonetheless found guilty due to the overwhelmingly racist social codes of the day. He panics in prison, attempting to escape, and it shot by the guards, who kill him by shooting to kill rather than in the leg to stop him from running further.

Why does scout consider mayella Ewell the loneliest person in the world?

Scout feels that Mayella is the 'loneliest person in the world' because she is living in an environment that doesn't suit her. Mayella longs for a better life at home and feels trapped. She feels that nobody cares for her or wants to look after her. The adult example in her life doesn't show any respect for who she is and doesn't treat her as a daughter. It's as if she is closeted from the world and that her life is separate from other people's because she is a Ewell. Because Mayella's father was constantly drinking and her siblings were not friendly to her. Mayella didn't go to school, her mother died, and she had no friends. Mayella doesn't understand what a friend is. She has seven siblings she has no connection with, and an abusive father.


What fact proves tom robinson's innocence?

The fact that Tom Robinson's left hand was crippled, making it physically impossible for him to inflict the bruises on Mayella Ewell's face, proves his innocence. Additionally, the lack of any concrete evidence linking Tom Robinson to the crime further supports his innocence.
