A group of a few people must give up the power they have been given over others to achieve justice and equality. It is with this sacrifice that James Baldwin believes we can all achieve justice. But those who choose to use the power of their binary advantage such as race, gender, and economic status as a function of their identity will only support injustice in society. In the play Blues For Mister Charlie written by James Baldwin, he demonstrates injustices through characterization within the play. The character Parnell is the only person powerful enough to get justice if he is willing to give up his power. Baldwin uses power dynamics in characters to illustrate the fight for justice and the creation of injustice. It is the advantages of each character's power that give them a privilege that makes it difficult to sacrifice for the justice and equality that Baldwin believes we can achieve. Baldwin defines power dynamics as the privileges people have over others in society. Race, gender, and economic status all contribute to the beneficiary that is privilege. Privilege can be equated to the advantages of whites over blacks, rich people over poor people, and men over women. The character Parnell is a rich white person, Parnell has privileges that other characters like Lyle, Jo, Richard and Meridian do not have, therefore Parnell has power. For example, white privilege will cause society to treat Lyle and Parnell with humanity and dignity compared to black who treats people like Richard and Meridian as second class citizens. Manhood is also an advantage that society offers, Parnell and Lyle's manhood will give them a sense of... middle of paper... will support injustice in society, and Parnell now realizes this. The silver lining of Parnell's epiphany is that he finally realizes he is at fault, telling Lyle “I've failed you so badly – ​​let me tell you. I had no doubts about Jo's word. I knew she was lying and that you forced her to lie. It was a terrible thing to do to her. It was a terrible thing I just did to you. I really don't know if what I did to Meridian was as terrible as what I did to you." (117). Parnell admits his wrongdoing and admits that his wrongdoing is an injustice, a justice of which he indicates that Meridian has been robbed. In his epiphany, that silver lining, Parnell knows that if he wants justice for Meridian and Richard and if he wants that clichéd justice for all, he must be one of the few collectives who gives up the power he has been given over others for obtain it: justice.
