Psychological Aspects of Black Boy by Richard Wright
Richard Wright, an African American citizen who lived in the early- to mid-nineteenth century, suffered a very difficult life. ... On a more personal level, Richard also suffered from a lack of companionship, having very few close relationships. Richard’s father abandoned the family shortly after the episode in which Richard killed the kitten, and not long after the family moved to Memphis, Tennessee. Although Richard had never liked his father, his abandonment of the family resulted in Richard’s feelings of ’a deep biological bitterness’.
