Themes in To Kill a Mockingbird

To kill a Mockingbird is a book about the injustice it was happened in the South of the United in 1930-1935. Some major themes in this book are:
- Inequality of race.
- Sticking to what you believe.
- Having a pride.
- What most people like is not always the good decision.
- Never give up even though people are against you.
- Having a self-control in front of a difficult situation.
- Having a self-esteem.

The author reveal those themes by showing the obstacle each people have to affront. For example, Scout doesn't have a self-control when her cousin, Francie, called her "nigger love". Atticus, Scout's father, is a person very decent because he doesn't show any fear in front of the difficult trial which wanting for him in summer. However, he has a lower self-esteem because he is so sure to loose the trial.

The lesson the characters learn is what most people like is not always the good decision because in Maycomb, people accused Tom Robinson unfair without hearing what he has to say. All that because he is a black man. For example, Scout asks her father how he was defending a man who most people don't like him and find him guilty.

I think that Harper Lee wants us to learn how abstruse condition black people and everyone who defends black people have so much to overcome.
