Mayella

Mayella says that she called Tom Robinson inside the fence that evening and offered him a nickel to break up a dresser for her, and that once he got inside the house he grabbed her and took advantage of her. Atticus asks why she didn’t put up a better fight, why her screams didn’t bring the other children running, and most important how Tom Robinson managed the crime also how he bruised the right side of her face with his useless left hand, which was torn apart by a cotton gin when he was younger. He also wants her to admit that her father beat her not Tom Robinson.

Mayella: She is Nineteen and the oldest of her siblings, She doesn't have any friends, and isn't use to people being nice to her.
