what is your opinion on Mrs. dalton's blindness? I think that Mrs. Daltons blindness is ironic since she is able to SEE Bigger for what he is unlike people at that time who were blind by the color of people's skin.

Yeah, but she doesn't really know him yet, so she cannot see him for who he really is.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean, Nick. It's a paradox how she's blind, but can see better than a person with great vision...ahem...(well at least in my opinion)
ReplyDeleteIt will be intersting to see how the motif of her blindness plays out as we get further in the story..
ReplyDeleteI think Mrs. Dalton's blindness is Bigger's paranoia. She's described as a white spirit most of the time as a shadow always lurking about, probably a symbol of white society, but she's blind hence Bigger's paranoia.
