Morrison’s characterization of Pilate and contrast with that of Ruth’s charazterization leads to the conclusion that she was a strong feminist. “They were so different, these two women. One black, the other lemony. One corseted, the other buck naked under her dress. One well read but…

makes the reader go back and forth in the text. We can see how the relationship between Milkman and Guitar is parallel to the same kind of relationship between Macon and Pilate. We can see how Guitars obsession of gold is one reason why he might’ve turned his back on Milkman. The same goes for Macon Dead. Macon would’ve killed Pilate if he had a hold of the knife. We can also see Morrison include the motif of the jungle. The jungle can be seen in chapter 10 in the Hansel and Gretel scene. The…

would bring inconvenience or unpleasantness upon himself or even cost him his life… The civilized modern man cannot bring upon himself a greater fiasco or a worse fate.” (Quote from book # World Religion & World Politics Article 2, chapter 8) • The Pilate mentality is the transition between Barabas –an undeveloped primitive being and Christ - the being in God’s image.

Pilate and Reba attempt to help her in the only way they knew -- “they offered her all they had: love murmurs and a protective shade” (315). Rather than help her break from obsession she had for Milkman, Pilate and Reba could only dote on her. That was all they knew how to do. They were so blinded by the intense love they had for Hagar that neither…

Pilate, who is Milkman’s aunt, goes on to achieve flight herself, while also staying true to her father's words. “Without ever leaving the ground, she could fly” (336).

brother. Although Reba corrects her mother by saying, “That ain’t her brother, Mama. They cousins.” But Pilate counters, “I mean what’s the difference in the way you act toward ‘em? Don’t you have to act the same way to both?” (XX). In this first encounter, the basis of Hagar’s and Milkman’s relationship is set. Pilate makes clear that family is family no matter the degree of kinship. Consequently, Pilate tries to predetermine how Hagar should regard her cousin what reveals the incestuous nature…

gain strength and work on my core. I want to get generally fitter, I thought when choosing my classes. And so when I hurt my wrist, my first reaction was absolute panic that I will not be able to continue with pilates, yoga and self-defense. “Write an evaluation of this class,” my pilates teacher said after she saw me. I might not have looked eager to do it, but I was – I can at least write about exercising when I cannot do it. And so I took a pencil and a sheet of paper, stating my criteria: …
