TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD BY HARPER LEE

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD BY Harper Lee (Moral VALUes)


The most important moral value of To Kill a Mockingbird is the book’s exploration of the moral nature of human beings—that is, whether people are essentially good or essentially evil. The novel approaches this question by dramatizing Scout and Jem’s transition from a perspective of childhood innocence, in which they assume that people are good because they have never seen evil, to a more adult perspective, in which they have confronted evil and must incorporate it into their understanding of the world. 
To Kill A Mockingbird, deciding that Harper Lee's values represent the best of humanity: tolerance; kindness; civility; justice; the courage to face down community or family when they are wrong; and the compassion to love them despite their flaws.
