The trial

The trial

1. Scout's bullying.

   • Fairness isn't something for everyone.
     • 'Francis looked at me carefully, concluded I had been sufifcently subdued and crooned softly, 'Nigger-Lover.'
       • Only ever strike when you are at your weakest.
   • Inherited from parents.
   • Don't respect a new opinion, sheep.

2. The angry lynch mob.

   • Violent, racist, follow another, only stand up in a gang
     • The men were dressed, most of them, in overalls and denim shirts buttoned up to the collars.'
       • Firstly, fact + summer night, cowardice to racism, come to kill Tom but are not brave enough, identity. Disguising/attempting at night means they know their behaviour is wrong, shamefull, not shameful enough to stop. 'Most of', follow the crowd.

3. Court's reaction to Tom's pity

   • Insulted, offended, angry
     • 'Below us, nobody liked Tom Robinson's answer'.
     • 'You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?'
