There is definaetly more than one mockingbird. It was an ongoing metaphor/motif so there had to be more than one. Tom Robinson could be a very literal depiction of a mockingbird. As I have already mentioned, the innocence is a more symbolic mockingbird. I think Atticus is also a mockingbird.
Coudn't all of these things be "mockingbirds" in the story? They're mockingbirds because in some way or another they are "killed." They lose something. Tom loses his life, Scout and Jem lose their innocence, et cetera.
Why would Atticus be a mockingbird?
