Many titles could be appropriate for such an essay. Before
you begin writing, you should pick specific examples of symbolism in the novel and talk
about those. The largest example of symbolism in this particular novel is the use of
birds (specifically, but not only, mockingbirds) to represent innocent people that are
harmed by racism in Maycomb. Tom Robinson is referred to near the end as a "songbird" as
he is a victim of racism, and Jem and Scout's last name (Finch) also indicates that they
might be victims of racism.
Once you've decided what to
write about, you can pick a more specific title if you so choose. A generic title like
"Symbolism in the Novel, To Kill a Mockingbird" would work just
fine, but you could get creative and go with "The Symbolism of the Mockingbird" or
something similar.
