Carole Stone characterizes the sea as “both a generative and destructive force”. Edna first establishes independence when she learns to swim and goes out to sea alone. The ability to swim symbolizes a rebirth in which Edna realizes her capability to grow in spite of the Victorian society whom stumps it. After extreme efforts, Edna comes to the conclusion that society is not ready to accept her newfound self and immersing herself in the sea is her only way to become whole as discussed thoroughly in Stone’s essay.

Through Beloved, Morrison finally gives all former slaves, "disremembered and unaccounted for", a voice. Beloved tries her hardest to become a real person throughout the novel, but she simply remains the ghost of a baby, one who "crouches" in the fetal position and who needs an "underwater face". Her identity is blurred, half-developed, and soon deliberately forgotten by all the people she once knew. Beloved tries to escape the taint of slavery by "open[ing] the locks the rain rained on", hoping to pry the chains apart easily with just her fingernails.

Since her mother warns her from being a slut she tells her about a medicine that would ‘throw away a child before it even becomes a child”(Kincaid, 470) which suggests that the mother did not trust her daughter and feared that she would become a ‘slut’ despite the constant warnings. “You are not a boy” (Kincaid, 470) perfectly sums up the entire story because this one sentence summarizes all the warnings and advice the mother was giving her daughter. In Becoming members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender by Aaron H. Devor it shows that gender is a merely socially constructed and assigned and in Girl by Jamaica Kincaid that is exactly what’s
