"Outcasts" refers to individuals or groups who are rejected or excluded from a larger community or society. This exclusion can occur due to various reasons, such as differences in beliefs, behaviors, or social status. Outcasts often face stigma and discrimination, which can lead to feelings of isolation and marginalization. In literature and media, outcasts are frequently depicted as characters who struggle to find their place in the world. They may embody themes of resilience and self-discovery, often challenging societal norms. Examples of outcast characters can be found in works like Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter".
