Quote #4
It was a sad, lost feeling to lose your name, and a crazy thing to do. That name had been given him by the white man who had owned this grandfather a long lost time ago down South. (66)
This represents the protagonist's rejection of his old identity, the identity constructed by dominant white society.
Quote #5
They didn't know either, he thought sadly. They didn't even know their own names, they were all poor nameless bastards. (69)
By calling the audience "nameless bastards," the protagonist is really pointing out that they too do not have their true names, but rather names (and identities) constructed by white society. The protagonist, in contrast, has been reborn.
