The story is powerful particularly because the explicit madness sanctioned by law is blindly accepted by the grown-ups, while the teenage author intuits the wrongness of what she observed, which shakes her inner person. The solitary black man, however wrong he may have been perceived as by those around him, was the one truly free person.
