To Kill a Mockingbird- Critical Analysis There are many themes displayed in To Kill a Mockingbird. The many themes range from poverty, justice, and morality to prejudice, courage, and compassion. The one theme that I really thought was shown the most was morality. One time the theme morality is shown is when Walter Cunningham is invited to the Finch’s house for dinner. Walter comes from a very poor family and the children don’t get much to eat, so they put a thick syrup called molasses on all their food to make it more filling. Scout finds that action very strange and calls him out. Calpurnia is very ashamed of how Scout acts. She calls her in to the kitchen to teach her a lesson.
