| 1369: "My hole is warm and full of light" |
With the exception of the narrator's grandfather who, despite his profound influence, only briefly appears, the vet is the first character who openly states his opposition to the established white power structure and the injustices of society. What is his history? What is suggested by how he now lives? What does he say to both the narrator and Norton? How do his statements inform our understanding of the issues and contradictions the narrator faces? Does the narrator take his words to heart?
