The Scottsboro trials of the 1930’s had more victims than just the boys, the girls were victims as well. Society has a huge influence on how people act and what they do, and it victimizes people by creating scenarios that are a lose-lose situation. Just like the case of Mayella Ewells in To Kill a Mockingbird or the 2 girls who accused the Scottsboro boys of rape. Mayella Ewells, Ruby Bates, and Victoria Price are all accusers and victims because of society. Mayella Ewells and Ruby Bates have been made victims of our society. Mayella and Ruby are both in the same scenario, either they be accusers and save themselves at the cost of someone else’s life, or they can do what they know is the right thing and take the blame for their actions.
