10)
“vanity” portrays the folly of the living
who in spite of having been bequeathed with many
legacies have arrogantly and ignorantly failed to honour
their dead ancestors. He laments as follows: “They have
left on the earth their cries. In the air, on the water,where
they have traced their signs for us, blind, deaf and
unworthy sons, who see nothing of what they have made
in the air, in the water where they have traced their
signs”. In the poet’s view, much of the problems
bedeviling the African society stem from our disregard
for African tradition and over- dependence on the
Western culture. He laments further: “If we cry roughly of
our torments ever increasing from the start of things”.
Birago Diop argues that the solution to Africa’s many
problems lie within us. He further expresses the African
belief that dead ancestors have the ability to punish
erring individuals and warns that if they are not
respected or honoured, they would also not help the
living in time of trouble- “And since we did not
understand our dead, since we have never listened to
their cries, if we weep gently, gently, if we cry roughly of
our torments, what heart will listen to our clamourings,
what ear to our sobbing hearts.

number compared to that of the female.It is indeed

i)Identity
identity is developed mostly in the scenes where Bigger
prepares to face his death in the electric chair. In these
final moments, Bigger must struggle to "come to terms"
with what he has done and what he has become. In this
regard, Bigger's identity crisis is more of a struggle to
separate his own impressions from the projections of the
racist society around him. Even as Bigger must accept
responsibility for his crimes, he faces the complex task
of asserting his own worth even as he can't ignore his
crime. When Bigger is involved in the process of
asserting his own worth, he finds that he is in a trap
because he has been unable to act upon all of the dreams
that he has. Bigger wants to define himself as an aviator
or even as the leader of his gang, but these are all
ultimately false. One important thing to note is that
Wright's treatment of the identity theme resembles the
philosophies expounded in several existentialist works.
In particular, the prison scenes toward the end of the
novel are intended to hearken back to the works of
Wright's favorite writer, Dostoevsky. Particularly after his
rejection of established religion, Bigger has the
existentialist burden of searching for meaning in life
without the traditional support systems offered by the
church or other social structures. By the end of Native
Son, it seems that Bigger is one man who is doomed to
fight against the machinery of a hostile world.

Chicago, rebels the only way she knows how: she starts
dating a Communist.(We could have suggested throwing
wet towels on the carpet and refusing to pick them up,
but that's just us. Her attempts to break free from her
family’s wealth lead her to do numerous crazy things.
She wants to transcend her privileged status, but she
doesn’t realize justhowprivileged she is. Like her
boyfriend Jan, she’s clueless that her attempts to
befriend Bigger make him feel ashamed and afraid. She's
also unaware just quite how belittling she's being: When
Mary gets drunk, she has no idea that she is putting
Bigger into a situation where he simply can’t win. There
can be no good outcome for him by taking her upstairs to
her bedroom when she is drunk. Her inability to see
beyond her own immediate desire to befriend Bigger
suggests that, ultimately, she may be too self-focused to
see outside of herself. She wants to save the world, but
knows far too little about it.
