Question
Focus Question #2- Why does Bob Ewell feel so angry with Atticus? Do you think his threat is a real one
How might he try to "get" Atticus?
Answer
Bob Ewell feels angry with Atticus because Atticus exposed him as a liar in court and defended Tom Robinson, a black man. His threat is real, as he has already attacked Atticus's children. He might try to "get" Atticus by physically harming him or his family, spreading rumors or lies about him, or trying to ruin his reputation in the community.
