What are the most important parts of Sheriff Heck Tate’s, Bob Ewell’s, Mayella Ewell’s, and Tom Robinson’s testimonies during the trial? Quote major elements from each of these character’s testimonies and explain why they are important.
1. The four witnesses at Tom Robinson’s trial--Sheriff Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson--each reveal some crucial facts about the purported rape and beating during their respective testimonies. Heck Tate begins the testimony by stating that Mayella was beaten around her “‘right eye’”(p. 225) and that there “‘were definite finger marks on her gullet--’”(p. 226). This would seem to indicate that a person with two capable hands and a dominant left hand beat and attempted to strangle her. As Mr. Bob Ewell then indicates, “‘I can use one hand as good as the other.’” (p. 238). This admission, along with his demonstrated left-handed dominance, make him a viable suspect in the physical attack on his daughter. Mayella fails to support her father’s innocence when she testifies, “‘My paw’s never touched a hair o’ my head’” (p. 246) This pat and seemingly coached answer only serves to make the older Ewell look even more guilty. Finally, Tom Robinson provides reinforcement for Bob Ewell as the attacker of his daughter when he repeats the last thing he heard before he ran from the Ewell shack. The accused man reports that Mr. Ewell yelled, “‘...ya goddamn whore I’ll kill ya’” (p. 260) at his daughter. It isn’t difficult to imagine that the man followed up on his threat of physical violence with actual physical violence. Surely, if the jury members hearing the case weigh the four pieces of testimony impartially, an angry (and probably drunk) Mr. Ewell is the more likely attacker than the crippled and frightened fieldhand, Tom Robinson.
2. The four witnesses at Tom Robinson’s trial--Sheriff Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson--each reveal some crucial facts about the purported rape and beating during their respective testimonies. Heck Tate begins the testimony by stating that Mayella was beaten around her “‘left eye’” (p. 225) and that there “‘were definite finger marks on her gullet--’”(p. 226).

As Mr. Bob Ewell then indicates, “‘I can use one hand as good as the other.’” (p. 238). This admission, along with his demonstrated right-handed dominance, makes him a viable suspect in the physical attack on his daughter. Mayella supports her father’s innocence when she testifies, “‘My paw’s never touched a hair o’ my head’” (p. 246). This makes the older Ewell look innocent. Her testimony gives jurors a reason to convict Tom Robinson. Tom Robinson, though, provides reinforcement for Bob Ewell as the attacker of his daughter when he repeats the last thing he heard before he ran from the Ewell shack. The accused man reports that Mr. Ewell yelled, “‘...ya goddamn whore I’ll kill ya’” (p. 260) at his daughter. It isn’t difficult to imagine that the man followed up on his threat of physical violence with actual physical violence. Surely, if the jury members hearing the case weigh the four pieces of testimony impartially, an angry (and probably drunk) Mr. Ewell is the more likely attacker than the crippled and frightened fieldhand, Tom Robinson.
3. The four witnesses at Tom Robinson’s trial--Sheriff Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson--each reveal some crucial facts about the purported rape and beating during their respective testimonies. Heck Tate begins the testimony by stating that Mayella was kicked—that there “‘were definite bruises on her body’” (p. 226). This would seem to indicate that a person with two strong feet had attempted to beat her. Mr. Bob Ewell indicates, “‘Tom Robinson has strong legs; he don’t need two good arms to rape nobody’” (p. 238). This statement makes Tom a viable suspect in the physical attack on Mayella. Mayella supports her father’s innocence when she testifies, “‘My paw’s never touched a hair o’ my head’” (p. 246). This answer only serves to make Tom look even more guilty. Finally, Tom Robinson provides reinforcement for himself as the attacker when he repeats the last thing he heard before he ran from the Ewell shack. The accused man reports that Mr. Ewell yelled, “‘...ya goddamn whore I’ll kill ya’” (p. 260) at his daughter. It is difficult to imagine a father saying such a thing to his own daughter. Surely, if the jury members hearing the case weigh the four pieces of testimony impartially, the fieldhand Tom Robinson is the more likely attacker than the feeble drunk Mr. Ewell.
4. The four witnesses at Tom Robinson’s trial--Sheriff Heck Tate, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson--each reveal some crucial facts about the purported rape and beating during their respective testimonies. Heck Tate begins the testimony by stating that Mayella was beaten—that there “‘were definite bruises on her body’” (p. 226). This would seem to indicate that a strong person had attempted to beat her. Mr. Bob Ewell indicates, “‘Tom Robinson is a strong fieldhand; he don’t need two good arms to rape nobody’” (p. 238). This statement makes Tom a viable suspect in the physical attack on Mayella. Mayella supports her father’s innocence when she testifies, “‘My paw’s never touched a hair o’ my head’” (p. 246). This answer only serves to make Tom look even guiltier. Finally, Tom Robinson provides reinforcement for himself as the attacker when he repeats the last thing he heard before he ran from the Ewell shack. The accused man reports that Mr. Ewell yelled, “‘...you young woman are grounded!” (p. 260) at his daughter. It is difficult to imagine an uneducated father saying such a thing to his daughter. Surely, if the jury members hearing the case weigh the four pieces of testimony impartially, the fieldhand Tom Robinson is the more likely attacker than the feeble drunk Mr. Ewell.
