  • Shadrack In Toni Morrison's Sula

    845 Words  | 4 Pages

    Trying to make “a place for fear,” Shadrack tries to find a way to organize and compartmentalize his feelings so that he can make sense of them as a “way of controlling it.” It is in that same way that Shadrack also tries to give order to Sula’s ambiguous birthmark. While looking back on the first time he meets Sula, Shadrack thinks, “She had a tadpole over her eye (that was how he knew she was a friend—she had the mark of the fish he loved),” (Morrison 156). With the “mark of the fish he loved,” Shadrack attempts to order Sula, a girl who does not fit into society’s expectations or his own expectations, by saying that she “had a tadpole over her eye.” In calling her very ambiguous birthmark, a tadpole, and making order out of disorder, Shadrack is able to compartmentalize his fear and his experiences into events or animals that he can relate to or make sense of like the “mark of the fish he loved” and having “a place for fear.”
