Morrison suggests that one fully understands their self-identity by letting go of their greed and vanity, as well as recognizing and respecting heritage, ultimately allowing one to “fly”, as Milkman achieved by the end of the novel. Morrison is able to convey her theme of identity through Milkman, revealing that he is immature and shaped by the people around him, and not himself .

The trouble within both Ruth and Macon Jr. reflects negatively upon Milkman, leaving him lost and unfocused. Morrison portrays this conflict in Ruth, "because the fact is that I am a small woman.
Alison Bechdel’s graphic autobiography, Fun Home, tells the story of Alison’s childhood relationship with her father Bruce, through a broad series of allegorical and literary references. The final page of ¬Fun Home best illustrates the entire story by referring to the common theme Greek mythology, specifically the story of Daedalus and Icarus, in the image of Alison leaping towards her father.

Socrates said "the love I bore... [allowed me to] draw honey and milk in places where others cannot even draw water from wells." Here Socrates display's how powerful love is, that allowed him to see the goodness, and beauty in students that others would only see a common, ordinary man. Patrick Carmack says in his essay 'Clas sical Vs. Modern Education. ', "Indeed, education did not mean for Socrates the cultivation of the intellect alone - to the neglect of all else - but since man is attracted to the good first by what is beautiful, education must first begin with the sense, proceed on to the memory, imagination, intuition, and intellect, spurred on to all by love.'(Pg. 2) Carmack says here that education should first begin in a number of steps to fully drag out the beauty and goodness of man, and to win the students attention so he will take to heart learning subjects, and doing his best.
