Richard Wright introduces the main character of his novel, "Native Sun", as a poor black man, named Bigger Thomas, living in the ghetto. In book 1 “Fear”, I analyzed how Bigger lived and discovered who his true character was. I also learned how he felt about himself, his family and his friends. The character Bigger Thomas is a very angry and violent person towards anyone who makes him feel scared or out of place. Richard Wright uses imagery, sentence syntax, and symbolism to express how Bigger Thomas really thinks. Bigger Thomas' way of thinking is different than anyone else's. He thinks the only way to get rid of anger is to hurt others. “He bent down again and held the knife to Gus's throat. Gus didn't move and his big black eyes looked at him pleadingly. Bigger was not satisfied ;”(pg. 38) When he is afraid of something he puts himself in the position of having to hurt people and make himself feel in control. In order not to reveal how he really feels, he hides his emotions by trying to make someone else feel his feelings. Wright portrays imagery abundantly throughout the novel. In the first book "Fear", Bigger kills a mouse in his family's apartment. "'I got it,' he muttered, showing his teeth in a smile." (pg. 6) This also foreshadows what to expect from him in the rest of the book. As Thomas chases the mouse, we can deduce that he is absolutely determined to kill it without remorse. Another example of imagery would be when he kills Mary Dalton. “Gently, he sawed the blade into the flesh and struck a bone.” (pg. 92) The way the author describes the events that happened almost seemed like Bigger was enjoying himself because “he had to burn this girl. With glassy eyes, with nerves tingling with excitement...” (p. 92) Not just... middle of paper... the cops he was running from. In book 3, “Fate”, Bigger is now convinced that he will die for the crimes he has committed. “They don't give black people a chance, so I took a chance and lost. But I don't care anymore now. They caught me and it's all over. (pg. 356) This book reveals Bigger's realization of what he has done and how it will affect him. We find out that he has been sentenced to death and will not live long. For some strange reason, Bigger feels a sense of satisfaction and security knowing that he will die. “Aw, I think I believe in myself…. I have nothing else…. I must die…” (page 428). According to the song “How Bigger Was Born,” Wright states “that his imagination is a kind of communal medium of exchange: what he has read, heard, thought, seen, and remembered is translated into extensions as impersonal as a worn dollar bill. .
