- Bob Ewell's attack on the children, made all the more unnerving by the fact that one of them is in a clumsy costume and can barely tell what's going on, much less run or fight back. He stalks them for a long time at first and it takes a while to realize something's wrong, but the moment you do—"I heard what he (Jem) was talking about. It was not my costume"—is chilling.
- To African Americans in that place and time, the framing and trial of Tom Robinson. Brock Peters' performance brings this starkly to light even to modern audiences who didn't live through that era.
