The Third Life Of Grange Copeland by Alice Walker

(Walker, 12) Grange is blind to options of how he can make his life different from his forefathers, how he does not have to be reduced to the low position in society, which he accepts. When drunk, he “would make his way across the pasture and through the woods, headlong, like a blind man”. (Walker, 8) Grange also has “veiled eyes”: they are unseeing of the truth. The theme of racial inequality and discrimination is considered to be one more theme raised by the author in the presence of white people, Grange’s figurative blindness intensifies: “A grim stillness settled over his eyes and he became an object”. Furthermore, at least once Grange utters something violent to Brownfield “I ought to throw you down the goddamn well.” (Walker, 10) The idea of manhood disclosure is expressed through the stress of responsibility articulated by Grange the central point of the novel is dedicated to the importance of taking responsibility for committed actions.

Brownfield’s father “never looked at him” consequently, Brownfield never developed a sense of self worth. Grange’s coldness and occasional violent words toward Brownfield, his only son, set in motion a ruthless violence. Brownfield, a victim of the lack of love, especially by the father, is metaphorically blind because he is unable to love.
