    JUXTAPOSITION: Mayella Violet Ewell


    Similarities:
    Daughter figure.

    VS

    Jean Louise Scout Finch


    Mayella is seen as fragile and an example of southern womanhood due to how she presents herself in courtroom. Scout is a fighter as she responds with her fists in situations. Jean Louise has no interest in southern womanhood and has a more tomboyish attitude/style. Mayella is beaten and possibly raped by her father unlike Scout who is loved and well taken care of by not only her father, but her entire family. Scout comes from a well respected family while Mayellas family is considered the trash of Maycomb.
