Tom Robinson
Tom Robinson is an African American man Atticus defends when he is accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell.
Tom is a young, harmless, innocent, hardworking black. As Scout realizes, His left hand had been injured in an accident. Tom was married, with three children and worked for Mr. Link Deas in his farm.
The only mistake he made was that he took pity on Mayella and often helped her by doing small household chores for her. He pitied Mayella for her deplorable condition and so helped her whenever possible. But the racial prejudices in Maycomb are still too dominant for this concern to be outweighed, and so Tom lost.
Tom Robinson represents all the black people who get accused of things they didnt do and get convicted of the crimes.
Tom didnt rape Mayella Ewell, but Bob Ewell knew that Mayella tried to rape Tom. Bob Ewell then accused Tom of rape because he didnt like black people.
All mockingbirds do is sing and make pretty music. They dont do anything wrong.
All Tom Robinson did was help people around town with odd jobs and be a nice guy. Because Tom was black, he got accused of rape, and was killed for "Escaping" the jail.
Tom Robinson is a poor black man who was a victim of his society's prejudice and racism.
He is also the main "mockingbird" in the story, he symbolizes the innocent being destoryed by the evil.
Here are ten words that I would use to describe Tom Robinson:
Noble: because he did not portray any bitterness about his situation on the stand and because he helped Mayella when he did not have to.
Compassionate: Because he felt sorry for Mayella despite his circumstances as a Negro in the south.
Persevering: Because he had a job and a family despite the childhood injury to his arm.
Hardworking: As described by his employer and evidenced by the fact that he did work for Mayella for no recompense.
Intimidated: Because he ran from Ewell even though he had done nothing wrong.
Kind:
