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.
