Tom Robinson is a mockingbird in that he never hurt anyone, never did anything wrong or caused trouble. All he ever did was attempt to help Miss Ewell, to have pity on her. By sentencing him to death, the jury metaphorically "killed a mockingbird."
Tom Robinson is compared to a mockingbird in "To Kill a Mockingbird" because, like a mockingbird, he is a symbol of innocence and vulnerability. He is a kind and gentle man who has committed no crime but is wrongfully accused and judged purely based on his race. Just like it would be a sin to kill a mockingbird, it is seen as a great injustice to convict Tom Robinson.
Tom Robinson is characterized by what the people of Maycomb County say about him. After being accused of rape, most of the people see him as an evil beast. During the trial while Bob Ewell testifies, he points to Tom Robinson and says, "I seen that black negro yonder ruttin' on my Mayella." (p.73) According to Mr. Ewell, Tom Robinson is an animal who tormented and violated his daughter.
