Some of the characters in Soucouyant are in many ways an inflated stereotype designed to deflate stereotypes. He represents the paradox of how the immigrant both wants to stand out and disappear at the same time, and the reality that often times we betray ourselves in willingly giving up our names, our identities. He presents himself to the audience with multiple stereotypes to bring into evidence preconceive ideas about immigrants. The etymology of words in the book resonates with Wah’s realization that language is often times to broad to accurately incorporate the individual or regional identity. Furthermore, the majority of people are not aware of the influence of the history of language, and thus are confined by it even subconsciously. In many ways is a speaker of truth. It is this character – the alter ego – that realizes that “we all need a filter to look at de world through”. Society and culture inevitable places a colored lenses before our eyes. Furthermore, there is the paradox of conflicting identities as he exclaims “standing on Latin America while living in North America gives me a new filter, a new perspective”. That is to say, the national filter and ultimately conflicts with the often dual citizenships of the immigrant. therefore, it becomes necessary to escape all perspective and acquire an objective view: thus the border is created.The character of the young man in Soucouyant introduces the necessity for the home on the border. The notion of a home in a particular place or locality is demolished.
