Why do Ellison name the black man who sleeps with his daughter Trueblood

English
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

His blood is no longer "true" because it has been contaminated by a grave sin-he slept with his own kin! Thus, his name could also mean he speaks the truth. Ellison might be using the name as a technique (besides empathy) to give Trueblood's story credence.
