Justice is frequently portrayed within the novel. As Atticus deals with the case of Tom Robinson he knows he will not win, yet he understands that it is his job to stick up for Tom Robinson because prejudice is immoral. Justice is a thought provoking motif represented within the novel, and illustrates the idea that no matter the outcome, one must have justice.
