Loss Of Memory In Toni Morrison's Beloved

292 Words2 Pages

Most of the focus surrounding the character Beloved is around how she impacts the other characters. For example, Denver assumes the role as a caregiver with sisterly love seemingly inherited with her experience. On the other hand, this quote shows how the strange new arrival feels about her experience in 124. Clearly, she has a fixation for Sethe, which again strengthens the contention that this character is meant to represent the dead baby coming back to life. Every child’s first memory is their mother’s comfort and love, but this poor baby never had the opportunity to be embraced by her mother. Finally, she has the chance to feel the warmth of her mother’s arms. Morrison touches on Beloved’s loss of memory, but she naturally develops this

    Beloved Word Essay: Water Motherhood is a major theme of Toni Morrison’s Beloved, as multiple characters often lament the futile extent to which they can be mothers. In Chapter 5 Beloved, the reader is introduced to two new motherhood dynamics, both relating to the mysterious Beloved.

    567 Words  | 3 Pages

    After reading the opening paragraph to Toni Morrison’s Beloved, many readers may feel the need to immediately turn the page, in hopes of taking the first steps to answering all of the unresolved questions bestowed upon them. Overall, the opening paragraph of Beloved leaves readers on the edge of their seats, being detailed enough to immediately grab a reader’s attention but also being vague enough to leave readers wanting more. Specifically, readers may feel curious and intrigued, itching to know what it meant by the statement, “124 was spiteful. Full of a baby’s venom” (Morrison 3) and interested to know more about the house and its human (and ghost) inhabitants. By invoking these feelings of curiosity and intrigue, the opening paragraph effectively does its job of “hooking” readers on and ensuring that

    Slaves faced extreme brutality and Morrison focuses on rape and sexual assault as the most terrifying form of abuse. It is because of this abuse that Morrison’s characters are trapped in their pasts, unable to move on from the psychological damages that they have endured. “Morrison revises the conventional slave narrative by insisting on the primacy of sexual assault over other experiences of brutality” (Barnett 420). For telling Mrs. Garner what they had done, she was badly beaten by them, leaving a “chokecherry tree” (16) on her back. But that was not the overriding issue.

    The character Beloved is an anomaly in the story, and is the whole crux of the plot of the story as well. Her name, or lack thereof, is allegorical and the most defining character trait that she has throughout the whole book. As a character, she is a mysterious entity who latches onto Sethe and her family who feeds off their attention, and reveals little to nothing about who she is. Besides these traits, her name leaves most readers to believe that this character is the ghost of Sethe’s unnamed baby that she murdered; as we know the baby’s headstone has the word “Beloved” written on it due to Sethe misinterpreting what the pastor said
