They are very loud, territorial, and aggressive. The bluejays represent the prejudice "bullies" of Maycomb County, such as, Bob Ewell. Mockingbirds are innocent, and all they do is sing beautiful songs. They would not harm ... and would never harm anyone. The mockingbird also symbolizes Boo Radley, since he is innocent, and would never harm anyone. He just stays inside because he does not want to face the corrupt and prejudice world outside.

Her experience with marriage seemingly is very similar to Mrs. Mallard's, as the role of "wife" was ... death is the only solution and of course the "heart condition" foreshadowing an impending death. Chopin utilizes a unique writing style to express her satirical plot. Through symbolism and first person perspective we see her "new thinking" and the apparent reason for death.
