![]() If the guards were telling the truth about Tom escaping, I believe Tom was ready to abolish the trial that had already ruined his life. Tom knew he could not escape climbing over a fence with a busted arm. I belive Tom was willing to die rather than stay in jail and wait for a verdict he already knew was guilty. Locked up, Tom was treated terribly because he was black. Tom had told Atticus he had given up hope in his life after his trial. ![]() Killing Tom Robinson, the guards eliminated the problem of people believing that a black man like Tom Robinson was innocent of the crime he was blamed for.Īnother idea I had was that maybe Tom really was trying to escape that day, and he wanted to get caught. The guards took it into their own hands to take care of Tom, that Tom may not show the equality between a black man and a white woman. It was a disgrace to have a black man have a chance at winning this case did not please them. The guards knew about the trial, they knew he was in there for “raping” a white woman, but I believe the guards had some thought that Tom was an innocent man. As I have been reading through the comments of my classmates, I agree with the racial tensions between Tom and the guards.
