Abstract

To Kill a Mockingbird is an immortal American literature that deserves to be studied considering current social issues. These quandaries are discrimination and inequality through legal philosophies developed by Thomas Hobbes, Carl Marcx, and Savigny all of whom are regarded as prestigious philosophers so as to show similarities and differences between each of legal philosophies by comparing views on the same situation. Finally, each philosopher's theory, as well as the researchers' opinions, will be included in this research to illustrate other current situations.
