Realization at the End

The Realization that Wright comes to at the end of the novel is that no matter what race you are, everyone has the same struggle and is dealing with the same problem. All people need to conform with one another. If this does not happen then everyone is doomed to go down the same “drain”. Wright’s ambition is to write in a way that will cater to all and be understood by everyone. The same thoughts that Wright is thinking now are the same ones from when he was trying to have the Communist party appeal to everyone and show off the better characteristics of the party. This unity created by Wright will prevent the decline of the human race. The Communist party, his friends, and the ones he trusted have shunned Richard. I think Richard is now back on track with how he is going to finish out his life.
