Gaines, the author of A Lesson Before Dying, is often criticized because the characters in his novel seem extremely passive and reluctant to stand up against the social injustices in their community. Grant Wiggins, Reverend Ambrose, Jefferson, Tante Lou, and Miss Emma each come to realize that the only possible way to fight injustice is to react in an atypical fashion. Each character reacts differently to social injustice because of each individual’s unique make-up, but their actions reflect their active roles in the war against social injustice.…
