‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is a wonderful novel written by Harper Lee. The book was first published by Lippincott & Co. in 1960 AD. The book talks about the themes of racial injustice, moral growth, and empathy in the American South during the 1930s. The story of the book is set in the town of Maycomb during the first half of the 1900s. The book is about the Finch family, from the perspective of Scout Finch, a young girl and her brother Jem. Jem and Scout’s father, Atticus Finch, is a lawyer with fame and reputation who later defends Tom Robinson, who is a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman, Mayella Ewell. The trial of Tom Robinson can be seen as the focal point of the story as it exposes the racism and prejudice ingrained within the Maycomb Society.
