As you followed the action in the courtroom, which character did you empathize with most? Least? Explain.
I empathize with Atticus the most. Even though Tom Robinson may have had a big burden on his shoulders because of being convicted as a murderer, Atticus had to carry his burden too despite having nothing to do with the case at all. Atticus had to find a way to lure Mayella and Bob Ewell to make a mistake and tell the truth, something that was not easy to do. Alot of pressure was put on him and he had to face it calmly and think of a solution. What was more pressurizing then having an innocent life in your hands and only you can find a way out for that innocent life. Atticus was also at risk of danger and faced it bravely, all in the name of justice.
I emphathize the least with Bob Ewell because he is the mastermind behind everything. This evil character deserves nothing from anyone because of his cunning lies and his manipulative ways. I despise him because he does not dare to face his mistake and correct it and yet makes use of Tom's skin colour to make the jury and the judge turn against Tom.
