Answer:

But the mark of a truly great novel is that it exists, or can be read, on a number of different levels of meaning. These levels could also be understood as themes, and To Kill a Mockingbird has many themes. In short, the novel has many ideas for the reader to think about as she reads. Here is a partial list, in no particular order of importance:

a picture of the American South in the mid-twentieth century

fascinating characters and character development

family dynamics

race relations

justice

the outcast

appearance vs. reality

coming of age

education

Answer: This means that the novel has different themes or meanings to them , or to say multiple. They can also rate from a meaning that hardly means anything to the entire theme of the book.

Hope this helps.
