Putting it all together: Attempted Unification in Song of Solomon

In "Putting it all together: Attempted Unification in Song of Solomon", by Phillip Page, discusses the idea that Milkman is the binding force between the halves of his family. By each side trying to pull him over to their frame of mind, he is drawing them closer together. Milkman is infused with traits from both, but he is eventually pulled closer to Pilate as he discovers his families past, and himself. This essay would apply to my essay on the disintegration of the Dead Family because it shows the conflict between the families.
