Book Review on To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird, a modern classic by Harper Lee is a coming-of-age narrative with a theme of social equality and prejudice. Racist Southern culture, which is firmly ingrained in violence and hate, is one of the topics. Many of us are aware that the message of this 1960 novel is still applicable in today’s society. Working with a socially significant issue and a lovely tale that incorporates a rural setting and young characters is the ideal combo.

The fact that the entire plot is recounted by a youngster is the novel’s most intriguing feature. The novel’s important subjects are not diminished in any way by an eight-year-old child’s perspective. Scout and Jem’s upbringing, ordinary childhood days, and other events in their lives are all fascinating.

People’s lives are interwoven with racial prejudice thanks to their father, Atticus Finch, who is a lawyer, who takes up a case for Tom Robinson, a Negro. Their lives are affected by this. Scout, with her tenacity and astute demeanor, quickly becomes a fan favorite.

Harper Lee’s debut novel, published in 1960, is considered one of the finest modern classics, with a message that is still needed in today’s society. The novel’s central issue is prejudice towards the black population. This is crucial to the main character’s life. Standing up for what’s right, defending the vulnerable, and swimming against the stream all come at a high cost, sometimes even putting our loved ones’ lives and dignity in jeopardy.
