Answer:

Harper Lee's use of symbolism, foreshadowing and irony in To Kill A Mockingbird allows the theme of inequality to be clearly represented. To Kill A Mockingbird is a novel about long standing prejudice and hypocrisy in a small southern town.

Explanation:He becomes the mockingbird, symbolically, who is killed in the title of the book. Lee uses a simile, a literary device in which you make a comparison with the words "like" or "as." Symbolically, Tom Robinson is a mockingbird because he means no harm and is only helpful.
