Why is it important?
It is important because it highlights the characters' post-traumatic stress disorder brought on by flashbacks. It also makes a strong contribution to intellectual growth and literary philosophies.
Perspectives
The study's scope exposes the harsh realities of human existence, particularly as they relate to Black Americans' lives. Many questions are still raised by the Black race's past, such as whether to live or not to live and whether to be Black or not to be Black. The problem is that the only offence committed by the Black race is the colour they wear. Thus, there is a chance that it will be exposed to sunlight at some point, sometime, someday, or somehow.
