    The novel of To Kill a Mockingbird is an outstanding example of the importance of symbolism within the entire plot of a novel. As Scott Stabler puts it, “The novel… contains a vast array of symbolism to intertwine the main plot with several subplots” (Stabler). Symbolism is a vital component in representing characters, as well as keeping the story interesting with underlying messages and meanings. This requires the readers and listeners to not just read the novel, but also to comprehend and examine the meaning of every action that the characters undertake and as well as the objects represented through the novel. The mockingbird along with the use of the directions right and left are essential components “...to capture the essence of what it was like to grow up in a small Southern town…”, also revealing the true meaning and value of the characters and situations to the reader (Canfield Reisman 1472).
