Paper Summary:
This paper describes how Bernard Malamud uses literary elements such as the symbol of the windows and his characters Manishevitz and Angel Levine to persuade the reader into seeing his theme.
From the Paper:
"The window motif emerges as Manischevitz walks the streets of Harlem trying to locate Angel: "...not knowing where to seek in the blackened tenement buildings, would look fruitlessly through store windows. In the stores he saw people and everyone was black. It was an amazing thing to see" (283). This is the first time that Manischevitz has ventured from the safe and familiar Jewish life. "
