There is a time
when the thin line begins to blur, when sanity and insanity begin to merge and
good and evil have no clear definition. In
Songs of Solomon by Toni
Morrison, the reader is introduced to Guitar Bains, a young man whose dark past
makes him ethically vague. In this
bildungsroman Guitar’s own persona highlights the differences between himself
and the protagonist, Milkman, in order for the reader to clearly experience
Milkman’s coming of age. Guitar’s ambiguity causes a whirlwind of emotions within
the reader as they grapple with his intentions and mental stability.
