Does it make any difference in the novel whether Mayella is portrayed as having premeditated her seductive actions or as having acted without premeditation, on the spur of the moment? Explain why/why not.

Explain why/why not. I don't think it makes too much of a difference in the eyes of the majority of the white community. As she still carried out those actions, whether it was planned or not. But in the eyes of a black person, it is slightly different. If it means she was planning and thinking about him, it makes a bigger betrayal to go against him. |

I agree with you Ema but I also feel as though it would be a bit different and more notable to the black community as she had overstepped society's boundaries and then proceeded to cover her own tracks. I feel that, as you said, in the white community it wouldn't matter as she still carried out her actions knowing the conseqences. |

I don't think it would ah e made a difference in the eyes of the white jury, therefore the outcome would remain the same |

I think this is very accurate because, premeditated or not, she still performed those actions and it's still seen as disdainful in the community if they found out. |

Explain why/why not. To the white community, it didn't matter. However, to the black community, it did matter, as she acted with a purpose of pursuing Tom, then went against him and allowed him to be convicted for something he didn't do. |
