Atticus, judge taylor, mr. gilmer, heck tate, bob ewell, mayella ewell, and tom robinson—what value or belief do you think each represents? how do these characters represent the tensions in the "moral universe" of the american south in the 1930s?

These characters could be grouped into two more or less homogeneous groups. On the one hand Atticus, Mr. Gilmer, Heck Tate and Tom Robinson represent justice, equality, fairness and honesty. On the other hand, Judge Taylor, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell represent dishonesty, corruption, discrimination.

Explanation:

These characters represent the tensions between the white and black people of the American South in the 1930s, the inequality between them not only in economic but also social terms. The black community suffered from a lack of rights, and it was culturally discriminated in all social contexts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
