The Strengths of Atticus' Defense in To Kill a Mockingbird is a strong novel, full of innocence and human dignity. The most interesting and emotional part of the novel is the trial between an “untouchable” of society and an innocent black man. Despite the overwhelming and clear evidence that the black man was innocent, the jury found him guilty due to the extreme racism that occurred throughout history. The most outstanding person in the trial is Atticus Finch, the defense attorney assigned to defend the black man, Tom Robinson. Atticus's actions in the trial proved to be intelligent and powerful and a valuable clue to the outcome of the trial and the story. In the story, Tom Robinson was accused of raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of low-class citizen Bob Ewell, and of raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of low-class citizen Bob Ewell. Atticus was assigned to defend Tom Robinson. During the trial, he questions the witnesses thoroughly, trying to get valuable answers from them. At times Atticus asks excessive questions, as at that point where Judge Taylor stops Atticus from asking questions after asking Heck Tate numerous times to call a doctor: “You answered the question three times, Atticus. He didn't call a doctor” (167). This demonstrates Atticus's resilient yet effective method of asking questions. He also asked about Mayella's injuries, as the location of the injuries can determine who the real culprit is. He also wants the answers to be concise and no-nonsense, as when Atticus asks Heck Tate to answer a simple question about Mayella's wounds around her throat, "Just answer the yes or no question, please, Sheriff" (169). Again, he doesn't ask for details; wants a simple and concise answer to the process. Later, after Bob Ewell had finished his testimony, Atticus began his cross-examination with a similar question… in the middle of the paper… Ewell did not scold him, as he says: “Mr. Finch, I was running so fast I didn't know what happened” (194). This demonstrates Robinson's fear of being caught, because when Mr. Ewell responded to the scene, he ran away. His tone of voice regarding his testimony was very different from that of Mayella and Bob Ewell, as he was not afraid of anyone and was in no hurry to get out of the trial as quickly as possible. Atticus's actions in defense of Tom Robinson proved assertive and intelligent, and provided a clear outcome for the rest of the story and the trial, which led to Tom Robinson being found guilty by the jury's verdict and Bob Ewell declaring revenge on the Finches , as the trial further decayed his reputation. However, if the outcome is the opposite of the story, Atticus will be advantageous and unstoppable. Works Cited To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
