Richard Wright's main character in Native Son, Bigger Thomas, was created by many different things, both in the novel and in the real world. Throughout the novel, Bigger's actions reflect his many flaws resulting from his poor childhood. Bigger's family, although they are around him often because of their small house, annoy him whenever they talk to him and he feels like he doesn't have a close relationship with any of them , except for his little brother Buddy who Bigger can tolerate. Bigger's poor childhood and family background, poor upbringing, and numerous prejudices contributed to the main reason he became the man. Like Bigger, Adolf Hitler's childhood sometimes seemed to lead to his need for power and his anger toward others. Unlike Bigger, Adolf had both parents in his life, but where Bigger had little to no contact with his mother, Adolf had the displeasure of both parents, primarily his father; which was usually followed by many harsh words and occasional beatings. Although Adolf was the second eldest child in the Hitler household, his brother 'Alois grew tired of this treatment and ran away from home never to see his father again, placing young Adolf, aged 7, next in line to receive the same treatment” (paragraph 11, Meier). After Hitler's brother ran away from home, his father's anger and discontent seemed to fall on little Hitler. Hitler's father, after working in the civil service for 40 years, never really seemed to leave his job, expecting his children to obey everything he said and if what he said did not did not produce, punishment would soon follow. Hitler never liked his family growing up, and everything they did put a strain on his nerves. Hitler, like Bigger, disliked his family as a child and seemed...... middle of paper...... wanting to finish robbing Blum's store, he does his best to find a way out , and finds one. by degrading Gus. Gus arrives late to their planned location, Doc's, and Bigger quickly attacks Gus. After kicking Gus in the back of the legs, Gus looks down and begins to walk away from Bigger; showing that Bigger already has power over Gus, but not enough in Bigger's eyes. Bigger suddenly grabs Gus and begins to choke him, without consciously thinking about it, then “Bigger's hand moved so quickly that no one saw it; a bright blade broke out” (38, Wright). Shortly after pulling out the knife, Bigger begins to hear laughter from Doc and the other gang members, so he decides to further humiliate Gus and make him lick the blade of his knife. The greater ones, like Stalin, use the fear of others to gain power and domination, showing that a greater one could possibly live in today's society..
