As you followed the action in the courtroom, which character did you emphatise with most? Least? Explain.

As I followed the action in the courtroom, I empathised  with Mayella Ewell the most. Everytime Acticcus questioned her, the questions seem to stun her, and she always seemed in difficulty. She did not know what to say, and it was obvious that she was not actually telling the 100% truth. Most of the things she said were just impromptu, but it was not as if she wanted to be up there, and it was only because she was afraid of her father, that she went to the court. Every time she was unable to answer, she would break down in tears.

I empathised with Bob Ewell the least. Being Mayella's father, he should care for her, yet he leaves his daughter to do most of the talking to defend him. He most probably also forced Mayella to go up, not sparing a though for her feelings at all. Plus, even when he talked, all he did was to use bad and rough language to accuse Tom Robinson.
