What does Angelou mean that "Uncle Willie was a study in contrasts"?

And thank you

Maya Angelou states that "Uncle Willie was a study in contrasts" to prominently describe the characteristics of her Uncle Willie.

  • Uncle Willie showed his love for children the way he attends and plays with them.  But when they err, he displays the perfectionist attitude that one does not need to spare the rod to spoil the child. The punishment is total, just as his love is.

  • At other times, even though Uncle Willie is physically challenged, his strength is in his character and endurance.  While he cannot stand up physically, to strangers he tries to appear as a normal person without showing the physical deformity.

Thus, given these challenges and his ability to manage them, Uncle Willie can truly be described as a study in contradictions.  He encountered many defects and defeats but managed them with overwhelming courage.
