Is the title of the story To Kill a Mockingbird a good fit in depicting the premise of the novel?

It is actually an incredibly good choice of title, as a mockingbird "does nothing but sing for us". The novel explores racism and its possible consequences to the very deepest of levels; life and death. In the novel, a black man is being accused of a horrific crime that he did not commit, and he will face death row if found guilty. Yet, he never committed the crime, nor did he do anything else to deserve such a terrible fate. In this way, the character Tom Robinson acts as the "mockingbird". He is a respectable, honest man that faces death for no valid reason. As Atticus says, to convict him is wrong because he did nothing to deserve it, just as one should never kill a mockingbird because all that it does is give us beautiful music.
