Question

What makes Heck Tate uneasy in To kill a mockingbird?

Answer 1

The men are apparently talking about Tom Robinson. The reader can infer that Heck Tate is nervous that something might happen to Tom. He talks about moving Tom to the county jail the next day and says, "I don't look for any trouble, but I can't guarantee there won't be any..." Another man, Mr. Link Deas, says that he is worried about "that Old Sarum bunch," referring to the people who live in the northern part of the county. Deas asks if Heck might be able to get a change of venue for the trial, but the sheriff replies that there is not much point in doing that now............ dont know if this helps
