Milkman is a vile man that is simply confused. What milkman doesn’t realize is that his own experiences are gradually leading him to his own personal freedom of flight. “If he did manage to slip by his sisters and avoid their casual malice, he knelt in his room at the window sill and wondered again and again why he had to stay level on the ground.” Pg10.
