Perhaps Guitar Bains' defining characteristic is his unwavering sense of justice. From the beginning of the novel he demonstrates his devotion to morality. Guitar talks to Milkman about a fight between Milkman and his father, expresses the feelings of guilt he felt after killing a doe: “When I got up… I saw it was a doe. Not young; she was old, but she was still a doe. I felt…bad. Do you know what I mean? I killed a doe. A doe, man" (Song of Songs, 85). Guitar believes it's wrong for the strong to fight the weak, whether it's the Macon Dead hitting Milkman's mother or Guitar shooting a doe. Milkman's sense of justice and his contempt for the Caucasian race find their roots in the death of his father. After Guitar's father is cut in half in a sawmill accident on the job, the white sawmill owner gives his mother $40 and candy to the children as compensation. This demonstration of the low value that many whites place on African Americans plants a seed of hatred in Guitar. He can't even eat sweets without getting sick at the thought of his father's death, as he explains to Milkman: "Since my father got chopped up in a sawmill and his boss came to give us kids some candy" (I Songs of Songs), 61). Although his sense of justice never truly lapses, as the novel progresses it becomes distorted and poisoned by his hatred of white people and begins to manifest itself in a much more sinister way: Milkman belongs to an organization called The Seven Days, which kills white men. and women in retaliation for the often unpunished killing of blacks. “I guess you know that white people kill black people from time to time…I had to do something. And the only thing left to do is balance it; keep things in balance... There is a society... middle of paper... protect residents from acts of police brutality", ​​which sometimes resorts to violence to achieve its goal (Brittanica). Also , Morrison clearly models Guitar on Malcom X. Not only do they share similar ideals, but they also share the same year of birth and state of origin. Early in his life, Malcom rather the idea of ​​black supremacy and separation. Guitar's belief that whites are unnatural and evil parallels the early positions of Malcolm X. Guitar and The Seven Days remind Morrison that violence and revenge are never the answers. appropriate. Guitar begins as a sympathetic and essentially good character, but falls from morality and becomes consumed by hatred. Although the reader may sympathize with Guitar and understand the source of his hatred, it is clear that what he is doing is wrong..
