By the end of To Kill A Mockingbird, the book's first sentence: "When he was thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow," has been explained and resolved. Did you think that Bob Ewell was capable of injuring Scout or Jem?

In my opinion, Bob Ewell intended harm. He followed them with a knife.... a knife that got stuck in Scout's costume. I don't believe there's any question that his intent toward the two children was harm.
