Through an interesting contrast between the calm restraint of the householder and high anxi ety of his slaves, this parable suggests that people should stay calm and learn from God to be tolerate and lenient religiously to"let wheat and weeds grow together until the harvest". Meanwhile, God drops a subtle hint to seed wheat positively in stead of sug gesting people to remove weeds negatively.展开更多

The father-son identity change reflects black people's limitations of self-understanding and the plasticity of their character in a white supremacist-tinged society. This paper is to explore the reasons and patterns of the identity change under the illumination of Plato's parable of cave, arguing that Grange Copeland's conversion of soul in his third life illustrates, in an ancient philosophical vision, Walker's ideal image of black.展开更多
