Hello There to My New Student!
In the novel Native Son by Richard Wright, Bigger is a poor black boy in a white man's society. Bigger lives a life he hates, with people he hates, in a world that hates him. His unfortunate circumstances, lead to actions that Bigger can never take back and set the tone for the rest of the novel. His longing for a real human connection with someone who actually cares about him deeply is frustrating and ultimately goes unfulfilled as he realizes almost everyone is against him. The serious oppression of the 1930/1940s leaves Bigger to fend for himself in a society that couldn't care less if he was dead or alive.
