Mr. Bodwin Quotes In Beloved

222 Words1 Page

Although this quote isn’t directly stated to or from the main characters, in the novel Beloved, by Toni Morrison, Sethe and Beloved; Mr. Bodwin, a minor character, had discussed his memory of 124 which was expected to be tragic but instead was the polar-opposite. I feel like this quote is very ambiguous to the novel’s theme of memory/past and not just this specific chapter where ,Mr. Bodwin explain his experience at 124. “Perhaps is was his destination that turned his thoughts to time” (Morrison 146). This quote is obviously talking about time but time in the sense of experience and destination being closer to whatever thoughts had been gathered up by Mr. Bodwin. This is ambiguous to the whole novel by Beloved being more of a rememory to Sethe

Throughout history examples of this have been seen, like the instance of the Scottsboro, where 9 innocent boys spent a major part of their life rotting in jail for what they did not do. Alongside that, they felt the immense hatred of a society of racist, close minded people pounding down on them. This prejudice did not only serve Blacks, those in the society often held ill feelings towards other members of their own community.

    Inherit the Wind: Granting the Right to be Wrong While the practice of limiting a man’s ideas may now be seen as archaic, Inherit the Wind brings to light this very injustice, prevalent in an era not yet shrouded by time.

    The quote that Christopher includes from The Hound of the Baskervilles definitely relates to his outlook of the world. After doing some research behind the meaning of the quote I discovered that the quote was explaining the fact that Holmes has the capability to observe a multitude of details at once, which is also something that Christopher excels at. This is a fact that I feel even Christopher is aware of since he states, “But most people are lazy. They never look at everything… But if I am standing in a field in the countryside I notice everything.”
