To Kill A Mockingbird Symbolism

Improved Essays
Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, contains multiple examples of symbolism. While some of the symbols are more to the point, others carry numerous meanings that all depend on the reader’s perspective. One of the most meaningful symbols in the novel is the mockingbird. According to Atticus, “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee 90) because mockingbirds don't do anything wrong, instead they sing music and fly around peacefully. Now’s the time that Thomas C. Foster would ask what it means to me. To most the answer would most likely relate to Boo Radley, but I can also see the symbol in Tom Robinson’s case.
Boo Radley is the most obvious comparison of the mockingbird. The night of the Halloween celebration was quickly transformed into

    “Shoot all the blue jays you want if you can catch em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” is a statement that Atticus makes which reflects the theme of the book. The reason being is that a mockingbird is selfless; they only sing their hearts out to everyone, not even expecting a reward or harming things that people plant. Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, and Atticus in ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ are the kindest, most generous, and most good-hearted people of Maycomb. Boo can be seen as a mockingbird in the way that he always has an eye out for the children and the thought of them helping him does not enter his mind. Though it costs him his life, Tom can be seen as a mockingbird because he helps someone he feels sorry for, and refusing to be paid.…

    In reading “To Kill A Mockingbird” I learned that as a reader we are able to pick up on things before the actual characters in the book do, so we were able to see who the mockingbirds of the book were before they were mentioned or even if they were never mentioned as being so. Miss Maudie outlines the symbolism of what Atticus meant about mockingbirds when she hints that mockingbirds are innocent and do nothing but sing for us, therefore it is a sin to kill one (Lee 93; ch. 10). In the novel as a whole there is a constant battle of evil trying to destroy innocence, which the mockingbirds are meant to symbolize. The biggest and most noticeable mockingbird of the novel is Tom Robinson. Mr. Underwood was the one who gave us the reference…

    In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s use of flowers as a symbol demonstrates different character identities throughout the story. One way Lee symbolizes character identities is through Miss Maudie's Azaleas. At the end of chapter eight Miss Maudie says, “Always wanted a smaller house, Jem Finch. Gives me more yard. Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now” (73).…

    The mockingbird is the most significant symbol and was first mentioned in chapter ten when Atticus makes the statement, “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” By this he suggests that mockingbirds are neither harmful nor destructive and only make music for people to enjoy so therefore would be a sin to kill one, as they have not done anything to deserve it. This is linked to Tom Robinson and less obviously to Boo Radley, as they were both innocent of what they were accused of, Boo’s evil persona in which he is associated and Tom of the rape. They were both victims of prejudice. They both demonstrated kindness, Boo to the children and Tom to Mayella.…

    Symbolism in To Kill a Mocking Bird Whether it be in literature or even shown in pictures, people use things to represent something with a deeper meaning and that’s called symbolism. In the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” by author Harper Lee, various different themes or symbols are active throughout the book all directly or in some way being tied to the ultimate theme of the book, which is not being able to understand someone until you experience life from their point of view. The most apparent reoccurring theme though is equality because of the fact it’s symbolized through people, birds, and even inanimate objects that Scout and Jem encounter over the course of the book in the tree that turns out to play a bigger part of the story as the…
