Copenhagen Men
How can I turn this thesis statement into a conclusion??
In the beginning of Richard Wright’s “A Big Black Good Man” Olaf Jenson appears to play the part of a common older Danish man, a content married homeowner who likes to garden. On the verge of turning 60, Olaf works as a night porter at a tenant house in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, a closer look at Olaf reveals more than what is introduced: a round character who is contemptuous, ethnocentric, and disparaging all of which is shown throughout the text.
In the beginning of Richard Wright’s “A Big Black Good Man,” Olaf Jenson appears to be little more than an older black man. He is portrayed as an average, content married homeowner who likes to garden. Upon turning 60, Olaf is a seemingly ordinary fellow who works as a night porter at a tenant house in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, over the course of the story, Olaf's complex personality is slowly and gradually revealed. While the reader is first tempted to empathize with his character, it is soon apparent that he is a very contemptuous and disparaging man. In this book, we get a glimpse into the life of one man's ethnocentric view of society, which made me think, how many "Olafs" are there in this world?
