Mayella thinks that Atticus is teasing her, or even that he is treating her with extreme disrespect, due to the formal language and politeness with which he treats her in the courtroom. She is antagonistic towards him, and feels like he is persecuting her. She also lumps Atticus in with a general feeling of being mistreated by life, and glares at him in hatred as she steps down from the witness stand.
