Answer:
In To Kill a Mockingbird, what is the verdict of the trial?
- The verdict is read by Judge Taylor at the end of Chapter 21. Mayella Ewell's assault charges against Tom Robinson were confirmed.
How was the verdict foreshadowed in the novel?
- Harper Lee shows that the guilty verdict is coming by the way Dolphus Raymond talks to Scout and Dill outside the courthouse and by how Atticus won't say anything about Jem thinking they've won the case.
Everyone but the children in the novel are surprised by the outcome. Why do you think Lee included this detail?
- Tom Robinson is found guilty by the jury despite Atticus's competent and passionate defense. Because of the verdict, Scout and Jem have to face the fact that the rules Atticus has taught them don't always work with the problems of the world and people.
How are the children surrogates for the reader?
- Due to our familiarity with the children and Scout's character, we are inclined to believe their surrogates of the events in the story.
