"You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?" This quote demonstrates the idea of Power in the book. Tom Robinson is put on trial for something he didn't do, and he can't do much to defend himself because the people have already made up their minds. They made it so he has no power by putting him up against people who had prejudices against him. Also, he can't say anything bad about the person who accused him.
