1. ACTS LIKE
1.1. Abusive
1.1.1. '"Except when he's drinking?" Said Atticus so gently that Mayella nodded. "Does he ever go after you?"' (page 202)
1.1.1.1. Atticus tries to prove in the courthouse that Mayella is abused by her father
1.2. Cowardly
1.2.1. '"Low-down skunk with enough liquor in him to make him brave enough to kill children. He'd never have met you face to face."' (page 296)
1.2.1.1. Bob Ewell is to cowardly to face Atticus so instead he goes for his children, in the dark when they are alone - an act no man with a shred of courage would carry out.
1.3. Uneducated
1.3.1. '"That's m'name, cap'n"' (page 189); '" - I seen that black nigger down younger ruttin' on my Mayella!"' (page 190); 'The witness had never thought of this (calling a doctor), he had never called a doctor to any of his'n in this life, it he had it would have cost him five dollars.' (page 193)
1.3.1.1. From the way Bob Ewell talks in a highly formal situation (in the courthouse) and the fact that it did not occur to him to call a doctor when he supposedly saw Mayella being abused by Tom, it can be concluded that Bob Ewell is an uneducated man. This is supported by the fact that he is unemployed - he is given relief cheques.

2.2. Hateful

2.2.1.1. After threatening Atticus, Bob tries to kill his children after the school fair which ultimately led to his death.
2.3. Overconfident
2.3.1. "It was becoming evident that he thought Atticus an easy match. He seemed to grow ruddy again; his chest swelled, and once more he was a red little rooster. I thought he'd burst his shirt at Atticus's next question." (page 194)
2.3.1.1. In the courthouse, Bob Ewell becomes extremely overconfident when he starts to think that he is better than Atticus.
