Long Answer
1. The magical childhood stories starkly contrast the events in Black history. While the evil in the fairytales may be kept at bay, real-world evil destroys Black children such as Emmett Till. The monster in Black history is racism, and it affects the development of all the characters in Morrison’s novel. (Various chapters)
2. Although Guitar claims that he wants to kill Milkman because Guitar thinks that Milkman took the gold for himself, his real motive is abandonment. Guitar believes that Black people will survive if the Seven Days keep a numbered balance between white and Black people. Milkman learns that Black people will survive by learning how to fly or by learning to give up their attachments to the world.
