Themes in "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Some of the major themes in To Kill a Mockingbird is racism , because they are accusing Tom Robinson for something because he is a black man. Atticus is defending him because he believes everyone should be equal. Equality is also another major theme in "To Kill a Mockingbird." The author reveals the theme by letting us know how Atticus fells about the trial and Tom Robinson.
The lesson I think the characters will learn is how to be equal with each other and other people , and I think Jem and Scout will learn what equality is. What Harper Lee wants us to learn by the end of the book is to think about the humiliation and the hard work black people and other people had to go through. Also she want us learn that everyone should be equal no matter what race or color we are.
