Analysis of The Ingrate in Paul Laurence Dunbar Part III

CHAPATER IV

CONCLUSION

From the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that Dunbar had showed the real color of Southern people, especially Georgian, through the humor varieties found in August Baldwin Dunbar’s The Fight. The type of humor used in Dunbar’s The fight is Satire, parody, The wise crack and the Epigram 

The striking manner of Georgian people was the tradition of Fighting which was so immoral and barbaric. They fight because of simple case. Besides, Georgian has the crude dialect and ungrammatical language.

The romantic spirit on this literary work was primitive. The attitude and the moral values among Georgian, expressed in The Fight was closed to the alienating of forward changing in society. It means that Georgian people based on the Dunbar’s The Fight were still far in developing the civilization in their community when it was compared to other country. And this condition gave the effect to the Georgian manner which showed the low class in society.
