Evaluate Harper Lee’s rendering of Bob Ewell. To what extent does Bob Ewell fit the description of the redneck stereotype? What

purpose does he play as a character in the story? Is his character more than a stereotype?

Answer:

Bob Ewell perfectly fits the redneck stereotype. He corresponds to the social stereotype of not being educated and being of the working class. He also fits the cultural stereotype of rednecks by demonstrating blatant and base bigotry as well as uncouth comportment (when he is called to testimony). Ewell is also an alcoholic and displays violent tendencies.

This matches the redneck (poor white Southerner) formula to near exactitude.  

Even his name (Bob) and daughter's name (Mayella) seem to fit this image.

Bob Ewell is intended to represent a particular role of prejudice and racism in Southern society. Though it serves as a symbol, his character can be considered more than a mere stereotype... as it says something critical about his society. Societies are complex.

Hope this helps :)

Change an important detail as well as the small details. For example Cinderella. Her name was Ella when she was born both her parents died. she was sent to a cook in the castle who bought her as a slave.  There the prince fell in love with her. But she couldn't go to the ball cause she had to serve the prince..... and you can probably change it add more details and finish it but this is an idea.
