They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds and the sounds of insects and amphibians, often loudly and in rapid succession. Tom Robinson represents the mockingbird, Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the family Mimidae. The reason behind the killing has been speculated, but many believe it was yet another example of racial violence. This moment serves as an interesting climax of the story since it represents the name of the book and movie, To Kill a Mockingbird. Despite Atticus Finch's selfless attempts at proving his innocence, Tom is wrongfully charged as guilty and sentenced to jail, where he later dies as a result of being shot not once, but 17 times by a prison guard. Furthermore, Tom is right-handed, and Mayella's bruise is on her left cheek. However, in the film, his hand is implied to have been damaged due to a cotton gin, not necessarily shortened, in Go Set a Watchman, it is mentioned that his left arm had been amputated due to a sawmill accident.
However, because he is African-American, his kindness causes him to be wrongfully accused of a serious crime.īob Ewell accuses him of raping his 19-year-old daughter Mayella Ewell, but one of his arms is smaller than the other due to an accident involving a cotton gin, making it very unlikely that he's guilty of the rape. He is a kind, innocent, and harmless man who has to think twice about helping others.
