Question

What do you think of atticus's reaction to bob ewell's challenge? should he have ignored bob, retaliated or done something else?

Answer 1

Atticus is always the bigger level headed man. While reading the book, I came to expect that from him. I do think he should have taken ewell more seriously. Ultimately, ewell came after his family. If not for Boo Radley, he could have killed the children.
