To kill a mocking bird analysis

They don’t cause any harm to people like eating people’s garden or nesting in corn cribs, but they only sing from their hearts. The killing of these birds would be a great mistake since they are harmless and lack blameworthiness. The Harper Lee's novel, the mockingbird, symbolized lack of guilt or blameworthiness and a symbol of innocence. In this novel and the life history of Harper Lee, there are those characters who are subjected to hatred and even killing for crimes that they have not committed. This document will describe some of the instances where the killing of Mockingbird is applied. These women acted as mockingbird because they had done nothing wrong and yet they were deprived of their rights like other citizens.

When Lee was tomboy child, his father was a lawyer who defended tow African Americans who had been accused of murdering a white storekeeper, that time in the south racist attitude was so prevalent and without enough evidence the two men were found guilty and hanged. Erroneous minded race prejudice is one of the contributing factors that led to the killing of these men. CONCLUSION From the discussion above, it is evident that the title of the novel is appropriate since a Mockingbird is usually innocent like the characters described above but instead they are wronged and subjected to judgment without the consideration of their merits. Moreover, the issue of wrong-minded about race also contributes to some of these innocent characters suffering like Tom Robinson.
