In To Kill a Mockingbird, Bob Ewell seems to have a grudge against everyone related to the case of Tom Robinson. Atticus was defending Tom Robinson, and Bob Ewell was prosecuting Tom. When Bob loses his job to Atticus, he blames Atticus for 'stealing' his job away. Not only does Bob get angry at Atticus, he also gets angry at Tom's wife, Helen Robinson. He follows her around town and mutters hurtful and offensive things to her. Mr. Link Deas, Helen's boss, stands up for her. "Now hear me Bob Ewell: if I hear one more peep outta my girl Helen about not bein' able to walk this road I'll have you in jail before sundown!" (Lee 334). However, it seems like Bob is the only person who is still angry about the case. Everyone else seems to have moved on. How long will Bob Ewell hold the grudge?
