Paper Summary:
This paper deals with how music is used symbolically in James Weldon Johnson's "Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man," and the ways in which the narrator, consciously or unconsciously, involves music in his decision-making processes.From the Paper:
"Probably one of the most integral elements to the story of James Weldon Johnson's Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is music. At almost every point in the novel where there is emotional peak, music is involved in the decision-making process in some way. This is especially true in relation to the narrator's own emotions, which are seldom the focus of the story except when highlighted by talk of music. In fact, music could be argued to be the key to the narrator's personal fulfillment, a fulfillment which he is unable to realize by the end of the novel due to his own much glossed-over shortcomings."More papers on Paper Tiger:
