well i do agree that the novel brother man is symbolic. i think so because it shows us what could happen to anyone of us. for example, it speaks about domestic violence which is a very real social issue. it also talks about how bad things do happen to good people. for example, brother man helped alot of people but they forgot about that very quickly when a man with draed locks killed someone; they stigmatized him and abused him. this happens everyday. the novel also speaks about obeah, which is not as widespread now as it was when the novel was written, but is still a very real thing. the novels shows what happens when we do not have faith in god; in the case of cordy she went crazy, killed her child and then killed herself.
i think that the novel brother man is of a symbolic nature because it speaks on realistic issues.
