![]() THE NOTION of the contradiction has played a large role in defining playwright George C. ![]() In a 1998 interview with David Savran, Wolfe describes his use of contradiction in The Colored Museum as a process of “searching for own complexity,” of “try as a human being not to choose this quality over that quality, but to try to embrace all of them” (Savran 347). The mélange of exhibits in Museum results in a varied tapestry of black experiences and stereotypes that suggests multiplicity is the only way to discover unity-or, as the character Topsy declares in the final scene of the play, “I’m not what I was ten years ago or ten minutes ago. My power is in my and my colored contradictions” (Wolfe 52-53).
