Based on this excerpt, the mockingbird symbolizes <span>the softer side of nature, because unlike most wild creatures, it doesn’t harm human habitat.
The mockingbird is used to symbolize innocence - just like the bird is innocent and does nothing to harm others, the young protagonists of the books are kind and innocent, and often suffer because of it. It is a sin to kill someone's innocence, just like it is a sin to kill such a beautiful and harmless bird.

What is the relationship between iambic pentameter and blank verse?
gulaghasi [49]

Blank verse is a form of verse that uses iambic pentameter. That is the relationship that exists between iambic pentameter and blank verse.

<u>Blank verse is poetry that is generally written in iambic pentameter, which is the most common type of metric line</u>, at least in English poetry. In that way, <u>iambic pentameter is closely related to rhythm</u>. One of the most important characteristics of blank verse poetry is that it does not have a fixed number of lines; therefore, it is mainly used in dramatic monologues. Famous writers such as William Shakespeare and John Keats resorted to blank verse in their works.
