Sympathy I enjoyed Lee’s use of the theme of sympathy throughout To Kill a Mockingbird. Through Lee’s protagonist Atticus Finch, he shows the importance of sympathy by examining the ability to understand another’s perspective, specifically those of Miss Caroline Fisher and Boo Radley. The first instance occurs when fisher yells at Scout for already knowing how to read. She takes offense because Scout prevented her from teaching everyone in her own way. Later that evening, Atticus tries to explain to Scout why Fisher yelled at her.
In chapter 10 of the novel Miss Maudie says, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” (Lee, 119)..

One major archetype in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is the quest that the kids try to achieve; to have Boo Radley make an appearance for them. At some points, they even take it upon themselves to find him, deciding one of the ending summer nights to find him “Because nobody could see them at night, because Atticus would be so deep in a book h wouldn't hear the Kingdom coming, because if Boo Radley killed them they'd miss school instead of vacation” (58).

This is shown as he tells Scout that the reason she shouldn’t squash the Rolly Polly was because “They didn’t bother you.” (pg.
