I'm writing an essay about how "Poverty and Isolation can weaken the Human Spirit" and I need different characters whose spirits got weak by poverty and/or isolation. I only need 3, but I have 4, & the paragraph's too big. So tell me- who supports my thesis the least?
*Bob Ewell- w/o a wife, job, or respect from ppl in Maycomb, he drank and neglected his children, & accused Tom of rape bcuz he thought he'd be praised, but when he wasn't he seeked revenge bcuz he had nothing to lose.
*Mayella Ewell- tried to separate herself from family's dirty image, but still had no friends, so she befriended Tom but was so ashamed that she let her dad accuse him of rape.
*Tom Robinson- was nice enough to help Mayella, but was then accused of rape &, after being found guilty & ostracized by Maycomb, lost hope in justice system and tried to run from jail.
*Boo Radley- was locked in house for 15 yrs by strict father, & stayed inside his house after his father died.
