Two daughters being raised without their mother, and each hopes to reach adulthood and be happy. Which one you think would have more success?
1. Mayella - abusive dad and many annoying siblings to care for
2. Lee - has three ladies to help her; Calpurnia, Maudie, and Alexandra

Harper Lee wrote the story "To Kill A Mockingbird" and others adapted it for film and some of the obscure characters could be developed further.

If you are writing a novel or story, it would be more dramatic if Mayella was more successful because all the odds are against her and it is rare when an abused child does not have major emotional problems as an adult.
Lee might have three ladies to help her, but they might teach her some bad behaviours and not teach her the social graces.
There can be no correct answer to your question because no one knows the future and you have not given any facts about the three women.
If you are writing about this scenario, you have the power to make it go either way. Good Luck !

It depends on the innate strength and the type of upbringing they have. According to statistics, Lee has a better chance because she has three people she can turn to for advice when she needs it and three people to care for her. Mayella has a dad that abuses her, which can kill her and then she has the responsibility of caring for her siblings as her mother would have so essentially she is not being raised by anyone and she has taken the place of her mother. If Mayella lives through the abuse from her dad she will likely have health problems and/or mental/emotional problems as a result of the abuse that could interfere with her having a happy adulthood. on the other hand, Maybella may suffer no adverse effects and could possible have a very successful and happy life depite the odds against her. More logically at face value, the simplest answer would be Lee though.

it will be mayella..
because,abusive dad and many annoying siblings will help her grows up..it also make her appreciate life more than lee..she will get more experience in this life and the experience will teach her how to be strong and many other things that she need to grow..happy?she will be happy without noticing it..
Lee really a spoil child but she will not have the experience needed to grow up because she had the 3 ladies to help her even when theres problem occur..she won't be strong to handle life like mayella..she then realize someday that she is not happy with her life..
