How would you describe Atticus' attitude towards Bob Ewell's threats and ability to do harm to the Finches? Integrate a quote into your response.

Atticus is calm and acts indifferent to Bob Ewell's threats. He is happy to face whatever Bob Ewell will do to him in order to protect his children and the Ewell children. This is shoen in the quote "So if spitting in my face and threatening me saved Mayella Ewell one extra beating, that's something I'll gladly take. He had to take it out on somebody and I'd rather it be me than that houseful of children out there".

I agree as Atticus is against violence in any form, especially toward the children in the town, not only his own though. |

I agree, I think he acts more calm than most would in his situation which could be for the sake of his children and being a good role model for them. |

Atticus undermines Bob Ewell's threats, thinking that Bob "spitting in [his] face and threatening [him]" is Bob blowing off steam. Atticus believed that Bob isn't the type of man to harm Scout and Jem, despite the way Bob treats his own children. |

Atticus, not being a violent person, doesn't retaliate to any of these threats, and he remained quite calm and relaxed. Because he think he just has a lot of anger and is blowing off steam, atticus may not think it to be too serious, which is a bad thing,

Atticus also thinks Bob Ewell is just letting out his anger by threatening him and that Ewell won't ever follow through with his threats, even though he is abusive towards his own children. |

Atticus is against violence and acting in immature ways. He remains calm and collected even when Mr Ewell doesn't.

I agree, Atticus also shows his kindess when he says he's tolerating Bob Ewell's threats for the sake of the Ewell children. |
