The Theme Of Inequality In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

The novel To Kill a Mockingbird serves as the basis for my topic. It's all about how inequality is shown to those who don't live up to society's expectations. We are drawn to the story's theme of family's significance and its connection to internal conflicts throughout. Different racial injustices exist, and even the presence of evil in unexpected places is widespread. To kill a mockingbird shows the moral truth in regards to an immense racial issue during the Economic crisis of the early 20s. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee demonstrates that inequality is a recurring theme that only affects those who do not conform to society's expectations. Discrimination, racism, and social inequality are just a few examples of the kinds of things we

By one kiss, it created a change in the town. Everyone knew, everyone judged, and everyone blamed the man with color. Racism interferes with character traits, abilities, lifestyles and even rights. This was shown significantly when a white speaks against a black in court in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. In the quote “Cry about the simple hell people give other people—without even thinking.
