Who does the mockingbird represent in To Kill a Mockingbird?
The mockingbird mainly represents Tom Robinson. Mr. Underwood's article in his newspaper said he thought the same thing. Tom was innocent but he was killed. It is stated early… in the book that to kill a mockingbird is believed to be a sin. And the townspeople, because of their prejudice, condemn Tom despite the strong evidence that he committed no crime. Some people would also say Boo Radley, because he's an innocent person who does nothing wrong but he is made fun of and rumored about and such, which is in a way like a mockingbird being killed; sad and not right.

What is a mockingbird?
Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds, ofte…n loudly and in rapid succession. Mockingbirds also have a reputation of being fierce defenders of their nests. Both male and female mockingbirds will attack or feign diving attacks on both domestic and wild felines, canines, crows and other birds, even hawks, as well as humans who venture too close to their nest. They will even cooperate in groups to do so at times. Other defensive tactics involve aggressive vocalizations and adults acting wounded on the ground as a lure to draw predators away from the nest site. Most species are tropical, but the Northern Mockingbird breeds throughout the United States and Canada, including the northern Caribbean area. There are about 17 species in three genera. These do not appear to form a monophyletic lineage: Mimus and Nesomimus are quite closely related; their closest living relatives appear to be some thrashers, such as the Sage Thrasher. Melanotis is more distinct; it seems to represent a very ancient basal lineage of Mimidae. (MORE)

Who are the mockingbirds in To Kill a Mockingbird?
The mockingbirds are Tom Robinson and Boo Radley, because they're both innocent. That's what the "mockingbird" represents in the novel: innocence. Without doubt the true Moc…kingbirds within this book are Tom Robinson, Boo Radley. This is because Tom Robinson had never done anything wrong to anyone, and never would. He was extremely kind and generous to Mayella, and Mayella committed a sin by killing a mockingbird. Boo is also very much so a Mockingbird. The social prejudice against him is so unfair, and he never did anything wrong to anyone. And ended up saving Jem and Scout. The only event that leaves a cloud over Boo being a mockingbird is the fact he stabbed his dad? That is for another time though. Atticus, Jem, Scout, Cal, Dill, could all also be considered Mockingbirds as well. (MORE)

What does the mockingbird in To Kill a Mockingbird represent?
The mockingbird represents the innocent, harmless characters such as Tom Robinson, Boo Radley, and the children (especially Scout). The title is taken from a quote… in the book, where Atticus says "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." Later, Miss Maudie Atkinson explains that "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy." This shows that they are innocent, and that is why Atticus forbids his children to kill them. To Kill a Mockingbird's theme is how prejudice affects a town. Also, the mockingbird symbolizes innocence. All they do is sing for you and give you pleasure in what is natural to them (singing for you). They do no harm. They are fragile, weak, and helpless. That is why Tom Robinson and Boo Radley are the two mockingbirds in To Kill a Mockingbird. in this novel, they talk about "killing a mockingbird" three specific times. Can you name them? That is why it is sin to kill a mockingbird, they only sing for you, with no harm done. (MORE)

The most prevalent symbol in "To Kill a Mockingbird" is indeed the mockingbird. This symbolism starts where Atticus teaches Jem "I'd rather you shoot at tin cans...but it'…s a sin to kill a mockingbird." Miss Maudie backs this statement up by telling Jem and Scout "Atticus is right. ... don't do anything but sing their heart out for us."
