Answer:

Character: Bob Ewell

Motivations and explanations: Bob Ewell is motivated by a desire to protect his own reputation and power in the town of Maycomb. He is angry that Atticus Finch has publicly humiliated him during the trial, and he is determined to get revenge on him and his family.

Level of guilt: Bob Ewell is highly responsible for the outcome of Tom's trial. He is the one who falsely accuses Tom of raping his daughter, Mayella, and he is willing to use any means necessary to secure a guilty verdict, including lying on the witness stand and trying to attack Scout and Jem.

Outcomes: Bob Ewell's actions ultimately lead to Tom Robinson's conviction and death. Additionally, his attempt to attack Scout and Jem puts their lives in danger and highlights the violent and dangerous nature of prejudice and racism in Maycomb.
