Nameless character form Cry, the Beloved Country

Alan Paton introduces a few characters in the book Cry, the Beloved Country. Most of them have names, but some go nameless. I believe that Paton does this for a reason; he is trying to make a point to his readers. One of the characters that go nameless is the young white man at the court hearing that helps Kumalo out of the building. White and black people were supposed to exit from different sides of each other, but this man ignored the rules and helped Kumalo in his time of need. You would think that he would have given the man a name because of what he did. Paton doesn't use a name because one man doesn't make a difference in the world. He did something great, but no one else followed or even paid attention to what he did. He is trying to stress that the world can't change so quickly and how people view the world.
