In what ways would it be fair to say that Mayella Ewell was as much a victim of Maycomb society as Tom Robinson?
First of all I have to say that both were treated unfairly and were judged by the society when no one bothered to get to know them. Tom was judged because he is black and Mayella was judged because to the whites she is no better then the Negroes and, even though she lives in their area, to the Negroes she is no better than the whites.
Mayella’s home life was no better than her social life because she was left to care for her siblings and did all she could with the amount of money she had, while her father would spend his benefits on alcohol and couldn’t hold down a proper job.
