An allegory in To Kill a Mockingbird is at the end of the story, when the main character boy is rescued by his neighbor that he had before been frightened of, that act instantly changes their relationship from one of fear and avoidance to a relationship that is now a bond that can only be shared between two people who have faced danger together. That relationship is now love and admiration and it can never return to the type of relationship it had been before, because to turn your back on that new found friendship that they both enjoy would be equal to killing a mockingbird and ending its beautiful song, destroying that relationship between the bird that likes to sign and the person who likes to receive the beautiful sound. Make sense?
