Imagine if you were a black male living in the U.S.A. in the 1930s, large build, and was accused of raping a white woman but you knew inside of you that you were innocent. Tom Robinson experienced this exact scenario, and he did not feel like he was given a fair chance. Tom Robinson was a regular Macomb resident who did not care what others thought of him. Tom minded his own business, but helped those who asked him. Mayella Ewell is the daughter of Bob Ewell. One afternoon, Mayella saw Tom walking past her house and asked Tom to fix her chiffarobe, “I said come here, nigger, and bust up this chiffarobe for me, I gotta nickel for you” (180). Mayella explaining her case to the court tells Mr. Gilmer that when she asked Tom to come into her house to fix her chiffarobe, he ran behind her, and grabbed her by the neck. This proves that Tom is susceptible to danger. Tom is a prime target for prejudices from others. Just because Tom is black, Mayella believes that she has an advantage over Tom in the court of law. In the quote above, Mayella initially disrespected Tom. Mayella used the term “nigger” to describe Tom. The term nigger is a form of derogatory language. The people in Maycomb use this term often for black people, but it is not a pleasant term. Mayella knows that she cannot fix her chiffarobe herself, so she decides to get a black male, whom she is not the best of acquaintances with to fix it for her. Mayella uses the term nigger for Tom to make herself feel superior towards him. While in the courtroom, Mayella constantly seems to be uneasy around Tom. Atticus, Jem, Scout, and Calpurnia truly believe that Tom is innocent. Tom knows he is innocent, but the jury will not listen to him. One major breakthrough that helped Tom prove his innocence was the location of the bruise on Mayella. Atticus claims that Mr. Ewell beat his daughter, proven by Mayella's bruising on her right side. Atticus can support this because he asked Mr.Ewell to write his name, “Would you write your name for us? Clearly now, so the jury can see you do it” (Lee 177). The significance from this quote is Bob is left handed. The person who committed the crime had to be left handed. Atticus then pointed out that Tom Robinson’s left hand is crippled, and cannot punch at all. Atticus proved to the judge that Bob is left handed, and the beating on Mayellas’ right eye had to be done by a left handed person. Mayella is still positive that it was Tom who raped her. Atticus states that he is at an unfair advantage in this case and the final outcome will be determined form what the jury has heard from both Tom and Bob. Tom knows that the jury will believe a white man’s word rather than a black man’s word. Although Atticus establishes his innocence, Tom is determined to be guilty and is later shot dead. The symbol of the mockingbird is shown mostly throughout Tom’s role in the book. Tom was a genuinely nice man, though some viewed Tom as an imposter to society. When people saw him, they were scared. People wanted to run the other way. Racism plays a big role in the novel, and the jury was extremely racist towards Tom. Tom was truly just doing a job out of the goodness of his heart, but he ends up receiving the guilt.
