Mr. Ewell was a horrible man, and he paid for all of his crimes.

Bypassing The Truth About Reality

... I have ever met”(56). It’s obvious to me how Baldwin’s father was definitely a mean man, full of hatred and animosity towards everyone, especially whites. His blackness had been the cause of much humiliation in his life, which fixed cynical boundaries. “In my mind’s eye I could see him, sitting at the window, locked up in his terrors; hating and fearing every living soul including his children who had betrayed him, too, by reaching toward the world who had despised him”(58). “Hatred, which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated and this was an immutable law”(71).
