Symbolism in TKAM
Mockingbirds symbolize innocence and beauty in the novel.

Atticus and Miss Maudie tell Scout and Jem that it’s a sin to kill a
mockingbird because these birds cause no harm to anyone or
anything—they just sing. In doing so, they make the world a
better place. Because of this, mockingbirds are pure creatures,
and killing them would be, in contrast, an act of senseless
cruelty.

Several characters in the novel can be seen as mockingbirds,


especially Tom Robinson and Boo Radley, as they are fragile, Add to your
kind, and moral individuals who are misunderstood by their notes inside the
prejudiced society—and, in Tom’s case, ultimately destroyed by
it.
