Courage is the ability to keep yourself motivated, to face your fears, to do whatever it is you can in order to overcome any problems in your way. Courage is to stay determined and to keep trying to do something, and never giving up, even if you know there is no hope. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird often covers the themes of courage and bravery, and largely through the characters of Atticus, Mrs Dubose and Jem. Atticus, the father of two children with no mother, has arguably the greatest reasons to give up hope throughout the entire book of all the characters.
