ESSAY ON: Toni Morrison's "Beloved": Healing, Recovery And Memory

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Much of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" seems to be about one's memory or repression of a traumatic past. While Baby Suggs urges Sethe to "lay down your sword and shield. Don't study war no more," Sethe finds herself so mired in the past that "her brain wasn't interested in the future" (Morrison 70). Freudian theory would have it that we can't be freed from our past until we face it. With that in mind, one can readily surmise that the connection between healing, recovery and memory in "Beloved" is a long and arduous process of painful explication typically found in slave narratives. No additional sources cited.
