I can postulate that Beloved is a very powerful novel and it really emphasized the power of slavery in the south and what African Americans went through. The story is apart of our culture and in addition it is a peace of mythology within our culture. Through the novel Toni Morison is trying to give us an understanding of slavery. The ghost in story is a way to talk about the human psyche. This novel talks about something really horribly, and that it is what a novel supposed to do. The novel portrays history, but the world has now agreed that this is a really horrible and bad thing. Toni Morison depicts the mother of the ghost, to seem; to not be her individual presents but in a collective presents. Morrison is offering a mythology of slavery; however she is trying to give us an understanding of it, moreover for mostly people who may not be linked with it, in anyway with this type of oppression.
