If you think about innocence - who else may be a symbol of the mockingbird?

What do you think the mockingbird symbolises?
The mockngbird in ‘To kill a mockingbird” is the symbol of peace and innocence because after all “it’s a sin to kill”. And we see these symbols through characters in the novel, Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, Boo Radley, Mr. Raymond. Who are peace symbols. Espeacially Arthur!
Finally, the deepest symbolism conveyed is through the use of the mockingbird. The mockingbird is a symbol of everything that is harmless. They only make music for others to enjoy but to kill one is a sin. Boo and Tom Robinson, who never intend to hurt a soul. Yet Tom’s life is lost, and this is like shooting a mockingbird. As Scout wisely says, “to hurt Boo Radley too would be like killing a mockingbird”.

When he sits outside of the prison to keep watch over Tom Robinson, this shows incredible courage. He was essentially putting his life in jeopardy. He knew this but his want for fairness and equality led him to sit outside the jailhouse that night.
2. Atticus has courage to stand up and put himself on 'trial' for airing his beliefs. The community doesn't agree with him, in fact they criticise him for it but he believes that the truth needs to be known.
3. Atticus exposes Bob Ewell as a violent, abusive, negligent father. This took courage knowing what Bob Ewell is like. This comes back to haunt Atticus.
Boo Radley shows great courage fighting for the children in the schoolyard and killing Bob Ewell. Not only could he have been killed but in a way it meant that he had to make himself known to people, which he had not done before. If Heck tate had not decided to keep Boo's actions secret then Boo risked becoming a 'celebrity' in the town and that would have been too much for Boo.

“ I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you do it anyway and you see it through not matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” – This could refer to Atticus just as much as Mrs Dubose.
As the novel moves on we see that courage is in the hearts of men and women.
Atticus also has courage. He is trying an impossible case but he knows that he must do it because if he does not then he will not be able to hold his head high in Maycomb or tell his children to obey him again.

The Mocking Bird is a singing bird that is harmless and likes to mimic the songs of other birds; they can also be very defensive of their nests. It is important in the story because it represents innocence. It represents the innocence of Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. To kill a mocking bird is a sin. “Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit them, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird”. The mocking bird symbolises these two characters because they do not have their own song. This means that the mocking bird is seen through the other birds and it is the same for Boo and Tom. Maycomb only knew things about Tom and Boo by what other people said about them. They are characterised by other peoples view points because they do not have their own “song”. Mockingbirds aren't harmful at all, they only do one thing, sing their hearts out for people to enjoy and that is why it is a sin.

In this story of innocence destroyed by evil, the “mockingbird” comes to represent the idea of innocence. So, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, a number of characters (Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, Boo Radley, Mr. Raymond) can be seen as mockingbirds, innocents who have been injured or destroyed through contact with evil. After Tom Robinson is shot, Mr. Underwood compares his death to “the senseless slaughter of songbirds,” and at the end of the book Scout thinks that hurting Boo Radley would be like “shootin’ a mockingbird.” Most important, Miss Maudie explains to Scout: “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but . . . sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” That Jem and Scout’s last name is Finch, indicates that they are particularly vulnerable in the racist world of Maycomb, which often treats the fragile innocence of childhood harshly.
