The novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee introduces heavy themes in an innovative fashion: through the eyes of a child. The main children, Scout and Jem, experience various forms of discrimination throughout their story. Lee, as she explores the moral nature of people, reveals prejudice, its nature, how it works, and how one incorporates it into their world. Lee focuses on the evil as the absence of justice and fairness; the ideal foundation for all societies. Through this novel, readers learn about justice and fairness as absolutes that exist no matter people’s interpretation or attention to them. The presence of injustice demonstrates the need to pursue justice. The injustice shown to black people in the book shows Lee’s contempt
