Wright's hunger

Richard Wright is hungry because his family is poor and can’t afford poor, but like all good English books, there is a deeper metaphorical meaning. Wright has so much more to deal with in his life.
Wright is hungry for a wider view on the world. He has been stuck in a hellhole of a house with no way out. Every day is exactly the same as the next, dreary and unimpressive. He’s hungry for something new and he’s desperate to find a way to get that.
