Have a little read: ... The novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee is a didactic novel which explores the issue of prejudice at different levels. It tells the story of two isolated members of Maycomb County - Tom Robinson and Boo Radley - who are subject to racial, individual and class prejudice from the community. The exploration of the theme of prejudice successfully evokes sympathy from the reader and also prompts the reader to consider the theme in a wider context outwith the microcosm of Maycomb. The mockingbird motif is arguably the most significant symbol in the novel - its key image of an innocent creature and its repeated image make it a very effective motif in conveying the theme of prejudice. Essentially, the mockingbird mainly symbolises Tom Robinson and Boo Radley, both innocent and isolated from society. Mockingbirds themselves do not have their own songs; instead they are heard through other bird's

User Reviews of this Essay

What our users think of this essay:

"A well-written essay. Quotes from the text were used sparingly, but, from a personal view, I found this refreshing. More analysis and less focus on the language of the text is an approach I approve of, especially when the quotes are well-selected, as here. The group mentality aspect is picked up on when talking about the abuse suffered by individuals, and the writer shows awareness of the psychological effect that being part of a group can have on its members, giving them a 'courage' and viciousness that they would not otherwise possess. The question is addressed in detail, and the writer wanders little from this. TSR user: Edenr."
