The main conflict in "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee is the racial discrimination and injustice prevalent in the town of Maycomb. The story is set in the 1930s during the Great Depression, and revolves around Atticus Finch, a lawyer who defends Tom Robinson, a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. The town's racism and prejudice generate intense conflicts and tensions throughout the narrative, ultimately leading to Tom's unfair trial, the violence against Atticus and his family, and the moral dilemmas faced by the young protagonist, Scout Finch, and her brother, Jem.
