AP English Literature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
There is a motif in the novel of shoes/putting on someone else shoes. In the beggining of the novel Lena puts on her brother shoes(p 6). Lena seems to be a strong and independant person even though the stereotype during that time in the south was that women were weak. She leaves her family to go out on her own and search for Lucas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which i think was very brave of her. It is significant that she puts on the shoes of a man before she leaves to find Lucas because she is stepping out of the role of the traditiional woman and into a more masculine role.
When Joe tricked the police by switching shoes with the woman he was forced to put on the shoes of an African American. By putting on the shoes Joe is stepping into the role of the stereotype of the African American man being chased by white police officers. Joe thought that he had finally been chased into "the black abyss" which he had been trying to avoid "for thirty years" (p 331). Joe seems to be afraid of being black and he wants to avoid that side of himself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but because the town is so obsessed with white v. black Joe has to be either one or the other which causes a major identity crisis for him. By putting on the shoes Joe is stepping into a role and coming to terms with the fact that he could be part African American.
If you've ever seen the movie Ever After,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shoes also come into play. When the main character dresses up as a countess and saves her servant from being sent to the Americas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Leonardo DaVinci notices that she is wearing peasant shoes.
I also noticed the motif of shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Lena puts on her shoes and walks to town so she can feel like she is from the town,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The shoes define the people who wear them: Joe fits the stereotypical black man on the run after he puts on the black shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Shoes tell a lot about the person wearing them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
