    214 Words  | 1 Pages

    In to Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses the symbol of a mockingbird to represent innocence and people who only serve as a benefit, or at the very least have little to no negative effect on our society. Just as mockingbirds only exist to make music in the context of their affect on us, the characters in the story that are “mockingbirds” (Scout, Tom Robinson, Boo Radley) do not exist in the societal structure of Maycomb to any negative extent.

Scout is a mockingbird due to her obliviousness of

    As seen in the novel, there are many interesting and dynamic characters present. One of the characters whom specifically appealed to me was Atticus, the father of Jem and Scout and a well-known lawyer in Maycomb County. Despite the fact that this story is set in the 1930s, in the South, during the time of segregation and great racism due to the aftermath of the Civil War, Atticus still keeps his high moral standards. Throughout the book, he seems to be a static character, as his values and opinions do not drastically change as the story progresses.
