How is Atticus affected by the trial?Example mentally and socially

I am going to take the perspective of during and after the
trial, you may mean preceding the trial, but it makes more sense to me to take the
former approach.

By the end of the trial, Atticus has done
some "stripping." Scout never saw her father sweat and never saw him remove anything
before bed, not even a watch. She saw his jacket come off and buttons loosened. She also
noted his glistening face. These physical features are not only evidence of the heat,
but his uncomfortable feeling about the case.

When he
finished speaking with Mayella during the trial, Scout commented how terrible it made
him feel to have to get tough and reign questions on her. He had great compassion for
her situation, but also needed to defend his client.

After
the trial, Maudie and Alexandra comment how Atticus does so much for justice and
morality in his town but it hardly causes a ripple. This must make Atticus feel
fruitless at times.

Atticus was spat on by Bob Ewell and he
just took it. Atticus knew he destroyed Ewell's reputation and Ewell needed to feel like
he was getting back at Atticus.

Throughout both the trial
and the immediate aftermath, Atticus remains fairly stable. He maintains compassion for
others, a desire for equity, a desire for truth, and he holds himself together well.
Atticus is perhaps one of the strongest characters written into all
literature.
