Love Post #2

Morrison did not give any of her characters preferential treament. Despite their class, what they have or have not accomplished, Morrison treated each character as the same. A lot of this book is about hatred and about equality and the author treats each of her characters with equality. Morrison shows a lot of her characters' past and present histories to give us a bit of insight to their personalities. On the same note, I think that Capote treated his characters much in the same way. He gives his readers a lot of information about his characters yet gives none of them any more attention than the other. I think that both Morrison and Capote gave their characters the same kind of sympathy and showed no more attention to any one person than another.
