Morrison s Beloved Read With Caution
|
|
|
Toni Morrison’s Beloved is very agonizing to read. Morrison tackles such subjects as slavery, torture, murder, hangings, rape, bestiality, and infanticide. To safeguard my emotional well being, I read Beloved in small segments and only during the day, since I did not want those haunting images to plague me through the night. The very violent nature of the novel and the “supernatural” theme presented by Morrison are aspects that repel me and make Beloved so difficult to read. ...
Beloved is based on the real life case of Margaret Garner, a slave, who in order to protect her children from slavery attempts to murder them. ... Morrison provides the content for why something like this can happen through various violent and shocking episodes in the novel. ... Schoolteacher scolds his pupils for not putting Sethes “human characteristics on the left side and her animal characteristics on the right” (Morrison, 193), as he had instructed them to do. ... Even though Beloved is a work of fiction, episodes such as this latter account almost certainly happened, and I am incensed by the lack of compassion and the cruelty that were experienced by pregnant slave mothers at that time.
