To Kill a Mockingbird-Mayellas Motives for Accusing Tom

In the novel To Kill a jeerer by Harper Lee there is a recurring them involving racialism and incest in the t cause of Maycomb, Alabama during the 1930s. Mayella Ewell is a nineteen year overaged girl living at home with her abusive drunk fix, and 8 younger brothers and sisters. Her mother died thus leaving her to be the mother type in the poor household. Mayella raps twenty-five year old black human race turkey cock Robinson of raping her. Mayella had multiple motives for falsely accusing turkey cock Robinson of her transport. Mayella accused Tom because she was forced to by her convey, cork Ewell and because that man is her father.It is made very weak during the trial that it was not Tom Robinson who raped Mayella Ewell, but instead her own father. She blamed Robinson because she was evidently coersed by Bob Ewell. In Toms testimony he spoke of Mayellas actions before Bob Ewell came in, She says she neer snoged a man before an she might as well kiss a nigger. She says what her papa do to her dont count (page 260). When Bob saw Mayella and Tom together being the mean drunk he is he beat and raped Mayella. In anger, he knew someone would defecate to pay for what he saw going on between Tom and Mayella.It was not hard to convince people in a township like Maycomb that Tom was guilty. He was black, he had a criminal shew known to the citizens of Maycomb since it was such a small town, and he lived in the same(p) neighborhood as the Ewells. People had most likely seen Tom launching the Ewell home because on more than one occasion, Mayella asked Tom to come in and help do some work around the house. Shed prefigure me in, suh. Seemed like every time I passed yonder shed lease some little somethin for me to do (page 56). Mayella was coursed by her own father to accuse Tom because Tom was such an easy target to cover up her fathers actions.Mayella falsely accused Tom Robinson for another rationalness in addition. For the most part, victims love t heir clapperclawrs. Mayella is the victim and Bob Ewell is the abuser. Bob Ewell does not do anything productive but regardless he is still Mayellas supplier of many things like a home. Mayella, after being coersed by her father would frequently rather come off as the victim of abuse my some evil black man than her father. That nigger yonder took benefit of me an if you fine fancy gentlemen dont wanta do nothin about it past oure all yellow stinkin cowards, stinkin cowards, the lot of you (page 251).Mayella was the one who initiated the incident too so instead of taking responsibility for it she would rather put the blame on a black man who would of course not thus far have a chance in court. Mayella accused Tom Robinson for rape when in reality it was Bob Ewell, her father. She did this because her father made her do it and because she would much rather blame the black man than admit that she came onto him and that it was actually her father that beat and raped her.
