First, on a symbolic plane, the split between the two brothers works as a portrayal of the African race splitting into 2 sides. The further the brothers are separated the more they’re growing away from each other, and the disappeared brother seems more and more distant as the years and generations pass on.

When the two brother’s families finally encounter each other again, they can’t recognize each other. In someway this represents the way slavery had the ability to tear apart families forever. But in a larger picture, it shows the race splitting into African Americans and Africans, and how these two are growing further and further away from each other.
