Answer 2

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." The mockingbird symbolises innocence, as it is a defenceless bird that is not a pest at all; it only "sings its heart out for us".

Many people in the story are "mockingbirds"; Boo Radley; Jem; Tom Robinson; even Atticus (he underestimated Bob Ewell).

Answer 3

In 'To kill a Mockingbird' killing a mockingbird represents killing a black man. They are both just a part of society that do nothing to harm us. Just like a mocking bird some black people do nothing wrong but are accused of bad deeds just because they are black. It can also include innocent people like Boo Radley, who is mocked by the town because his highly religious father basically made him a prisoner in his own home.
