Question: To Kill a Mockingbird chatacter symbols!?
What are some symbols (not found in the book) that could represent main characters in the book!? Like Atticus would be a lighthouse because he is the town's hope and reference point for moral behavior!. Specifically maybe things that go alone with character traits and major events!. Like:
Bob Ewell (ignorant, in poverty, prejudiced)
Miss Maudie (loves to be outdoors, befriends children)
Dill ("passed around" a lot, tells tall tales, childhood innocence)
Scout (tomboy, intelligent, basic faith in people, innocent)
Mrs!. Dubose (ill tempered, battles morphine addiction with courage)
Mayella (no real friends, doesn't seem to completely belong to the Ewell family)
Nathan Radley (protective of Boo, yet slightly detrimental)
And more ideas for Atticus! Anything helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Atticus is does not show prejudice towards the white trash and the blacks!. He respects all living humans and fights for their rights!. He does not expect money or anything in return for the things he do for people that is why some people repay him by giving vegetables or chickens!. He employ a black housekeeper so that he can create a prejudice free environment for his children to grow up in!. He acts as a role model to his children!. He believes that every behaviour that a person shows have a reason for it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
