Miss Maudie says
that mockingbirds "don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us." This comment
reinforces the theme that it is wrong to harm those who don't do anything but try to
help others. We see this clearly when Tom Robinson is put on trial because he tried to
help Mayella Ewell. He came into the yard because she asked him to help and wound up
unfairly accused of hurting her. Miss Maudie wanted the children to know that it is
wrong to hurt a helpless animal that seeks to please us. unfortunately, most of the town
does not believe this ideal applies to all people as well as animals. Thus, the theme of
injustice is closely tied with the previous theme.
