Document Summary
Like mrs. dalloway london is almost a character. But moses sees london covered in fog- symbolically not something prevent us perceive reality. Inglan is a bitch works in underground- manual labour does not allow to progress. Dominated by fear encounter w/ policeman (starts w/ optimism and at same time immediately reacts when officer calls him) addressed by system makes us behave in certain ways. Fanon: (policeman says hey you several ppl turn around even if they"ve not done anything makes. How immigrant are not accepted shortly after ww2 feels like he"s done something wrong. Racist restroom = overhears white men criticising black ppl (they mess up everything) and when he emerges from the cubicle, they appear friendly. And a page later talking to the colour of his hand blaming it for misery in the world (contradiction between innocent yet being rejected not for what he is but for his skin color)
