Mayella objects to Atticus calling her Miss Mayella because she thinks he's making fun of her. Atticus is able to show the jury that Mayella is so unused to courtesy that she misinterprets Tom's offer to help her as sexual advances.

Atticus Finch is an educated man with genteel standards of courtesy. Mayella feels that Atticus is emphasizing the social differences between them in order to discredit not only her testimony, but her own basic worth.

She objects to him addressing her as "Ma'am and Miss Mayella. I think it shows that she has little or no self esteem due to her mistreatment by her father and others.
