What are the themes for To Kill A Mockingbird, anyone got some good ideas?

In addition to considering Scout's growth throughout the
novel, I think it's also important to consider the theme of maturity when it comes to
Jem. Jem not only matures physically, like Scout noticing hair growing on parts of Jem's
body, but his social and emotional maturity, as well. For example, Jem no longer wanting
to hang out with his little sister and instead opting to hang out with another boy like
Dill, his increasing moodiness and lessened tolerance for Scout, or his act of
comforting Scout the night of the fire at Miss Maudie's
house.

The theme of courage can also be a theme to
consider. There are varying examples and degrees of courage being shown throughout the
novel, from Jem going back to retreive his pants from the Radley yard to Mrs. Dubose
beating her addiction to morphine before she dies.

The
theme of prejudice, both racial and gender, is also very prevalent throughout the novel
and should be considered. The racial prejudice the African-Americans of the community
face on a daily basis is represented in the false accusations made against Tom Robinson.
The gender prejudice that tom-boyish Scout constanstly faces from her Aunt Alexandra and
sometimes Jem. Jem tells her several times she should act more like a "girl" and Aunt
Alexandra is always getting on Scout's case to dress and act more like one, as
well.
