    James Baldwin’s novel Go Tell It on the Mountain tells the story of John Grimes, a fourteen year-old boy raised in a repressively religious Harlem household who struggles to define his spiritual, sexual, racial, and personal identity. John’s inner tension is heightened, and partially caused, by his convoluted relationship with his father Gabriel, who justifies his controlling and violent nature with his strong Christian faith. In his moment of desperate rapture on the church floor in the novel’s final act, John’s abject hatred of his father is crucial, as his detachment from religion stems from his inability to surrender to Gabriel’s authority as both a holy man and a cruel father. However, when John comes out of the trance and, in doing so, saves himself from his identity crisis, he acquires a means to challenge his father.…
