Based on his comments and behavior in court, what is a good description of Bob Ewell in To Kill a Mockingbird.

For writing a character description, you must identify
many adjectives that describe a character and then provide the evidence of those
descriptors.


For example, Bob Ewell
is:


DUMB: Atticus easily proved that Bob was illiterate,
and then that he had a limited understanding of vocabulary by positioning him to talk
about what hand was his dominant hand.


CARELESS: Bob did
not care enough about his daughter to call for a doctor when she was allegedly raped. A
doctor could have not only attended to her pain, but confirmed the rape and helped
provide evidence.


DIRTY: The scalded color of his skin
revealed to a watching audience that this was a man who didn't bathe much. Not only does
this suggest a hygiene problem, but it suggests a lifestyle of dirty in many other
meanings of the word, like underhanded and corrupt.
