The mockingbird. The primary object of symbolism used throughout the entire novel is this small bird. And yet‚ despite being small‚ the mockingbird is filled with a large amount of importance throughout the novel. The use of symbolism with this bird is especially used when it comes to the misunderstood character Boo Radley. Boo is innocence in most likely its purest form in the novel. He never did anything truly wrong‚ unlike other characters like Bob Ewell. Boo didn’t do all the terrible things
