The most obvious.... They are the Mocking birds.
Both are outcasts from society.
Tom is a black man living in an era when being black meant being less then, not believed an outcast. (He is also handicapped). Yet despite all, his actions always show a very good person making the right choices. In doing the right thing he is being punished and in prison.
Boo Radley is a social outcast, because of misconceptions and problems he is thought of as a monster (thought to be mentally handicapped). To all he is the town “Boogie man” which is a label society has placed on him. Again His actions always show the heart of a good person making the right choices. He is the protector of the children ...The exact opposite of his public perception.
The title of the book is to “Kill a Mocking Bird”. Boo and Tom are the Mocking birds.
