Connection to theme: Guitar Bains in Song of Solomon exemplifies a static character whose unwilling to change. Guitar's skewed logic and attempt to play the role of God amongst the Caucasian population differs from Milkman's journey to change his views and ability to listen to other voices besides his own. Although Milkman does not sing often, he eventually demonstrates the ability to listen and comprehend song and interpret the history of African culture while Guitar seemingly stays a radical activist who is unwilling to understand any different opinions rather than his own.
