TBE #19

Because Cholly was raised by his aunt, he never had a father figure. His father left his mom and his mom left him. So On page156, Cholly went searching for his dad and when he finally find him, his dad says, "Something wrong with your head? Who told you to come after me?" Cholly says, "Nobody." And later on, Cholly says," Tell that bitch she get her money. Now get the fuck outta my face!" This is really sad. This led to his epiphany to be "free to be tender or violent, to whistle or weep. Free to sleep in doorways or between the white sheets of a singing woman...He could go to jail ad not feel imprisoned, for he had already seen the furtiveness in the eyes of his jailer...Free to take a woman's insults, for his body had already conquered hers." On page 161, he explains how he rapes his daughter(Pecola).
