The Glasses that Tanner makes to give to Coleman allows him to "see the white man." O'Connor seems to be laying down social reality. We see the way things are, and they are not the ways of the gospel. The actor at the end, like blacks who have had to "act" and "mask" all their lives, cannot "act" anymore. The mask has to come off. Social reality. Tanner keeps living in the world of the past where everyone knew his/her place.
And significance of the name "tanner?" Some one has to tan that "bear" hide. Right?
