The main theme in this story is Racism. You dont really see this theme much until the whole situation with Tom Robinson and the court case. During this period of time there was alot of racism in the south. Alot of African Americans would be blamed for crimes that they did or didnt do. If Tom Robinson was white then not that many people will care as much that he raped someone. There was a lot of evidence that showed Tom was innocent but since he was Black he was found guilty. Even the women who accused Tom of raping her, her dad saw the whole thing, and he helped blame Tom because of the color of his skin.
