why does the title of a book called"to kill a mockingbird" relate to the story?

Answer 1

The title has everything to do with the story. "To kill a mockingbird" is an allegorical reference to innocence being destroyed by evil, and the book is all about the coexistence of good and evil.

Answer 2

After giving Jem and Scout air-rifles as Christmas presents, Atticus warns the children that, although they can "shoot all the bluejays they want," they must remember that "it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". Ms Maudie Atkinson, the children's neighbor, later explains that it is a sin because mockingbirds do no harm. They only provide pleasure with their songs: "They don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us". The mockingbird is used as a recurring motif to symbolise innocence and victims of injustice throughout the novel. It is a symbol of innocence and beauty against racism and hatred

Answer 3

It is famously mentioned in the book that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird, because all they'll do is innocently sing to you. I think it relates to judging others and making them guilty just because of their appearance, as we see in the trail of a ***** man named Thomas Robinson, who was accused of raping a white girl in a segregated Alabama town.
