24、mous Afro-American writer born in the state of Ohio in 1931. Morrison has deep views on the racial problem and has written many books to display this long-existed problem in America. Beloved is the fifth and the most mature work of Toni Morrison, as well as the masterpiece of hers. Beloved got the N

25、obel Prize in 1993, thus making its author the first black woman to win this prize in literature, so the novel became a milestone in the history of American literature. Many critics have recognized Beloved as the best novel of America in the last 25 years. So Beloved is one work worth of studying. W

26、hen this work is put into the wide background of the modern society of America, the fate of Beloved is not one fate of herself, but that of the whole black. Through the analysis of the fact that Beloved is not beloved, one of the biggest problems in America could be exploded, thus having its practic

27、al values in the modern society Beloved is a historical fiction as well as a ghost story in which Morrison tells a central story that Sethe kills her daughter Beloved. Sethe is a slave in the Sweet House--plantation in Kentucky, and unable to bear the inhuman treatment of slave owners. She escapes

28、 to her mother-in-law’s house in Cincinnati, where she and her children spend a happy life of 28 days, after which the slave catchers come and Sethe, in order to protect her children from slavery, chooses to kill them. However at last, only the elder daughter Beloved dies. Eighteen years later, Belo

29、ved comes back into the earth as a woman. Beloved's return consumes Sethe to the point where she ignores her other daughter and even her own needs, while Beloved becomes more and more demanding. At last Paul D and Denver expellee Beloved away. As Morrison says at the first page of this novel: Six

30、Million And more I will call them my people, Which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. ROMANS 9:251[1] 2. Background Knowledge 2.1The Setting of the Story The setting of the novel Beloved is the reconstruction era in 1873, which is a period after civil war. The r

31、econstruction period is ranked from 1865 to 1877, during which there are two extrusive problems which Americans face, namely the reconstruction of the status for the southern states and the reconstruction of the position for the black people. In the process of the reconstruction, the conflicts of cl

32、asses, races, and religions are complicated. The black people are cruelly persecuted and the black slaves who have got freedom are also lynched by many terror organizations. The freed slaves don’t live much better than the slaves actually. This story frequently flashbacks to the early 1850s when

33、 slavery is rampant, as well as the time when the black people are in awake to have active attitude towards the fighting for freedom and equality. The white slave owners treat the slaves cruelly. The Setting for the Creation of This Story For a very long time, Toni Morrison had a hope that she

34、could rebuild the lost history for the whole black people, and she wanted to create a canon of the black work. In 1974, when Morrison was an editor for the Language Bookshop, she touched a true event that a black mother Margaret who was a slave in Kentucky escaping from the farm, and when the slave

35、owners captured her, she killed her daughter with an ax in order to save the daughter from being a slave. Then after ten years of preparing and three years of writing, the striking composing Beloved came into being in 1987. In the novel, Morrison borrows the true story of Margaret. The mother is the

36、 model of Sethe, and this incident is also the model of the central event in Beloved. Chapter One Beloved Is Not Beloved Beloved has an elusive, complex character. Her identity is the central character for the readers to understand the novel. As most readers consider, Beloved is the embo

37、died spirit of Sethe’s dead daughter. Beloved never receives love truly, and through these facts some racial problems in America could be reflected. 1.1The Facts that Beloved Is Not Beloved Beloved is a beautiful name, giving people the illusion that she is a child who grows up in the atmospher

38、e of being loved and cared. However, it is contrary to the fact, because she is the one who is never cared but only deserted and murdered. The fact that Beloved is not loved could be displayed mainly in the following aspects1.1.1 Beloved Is Murdered by Her Own Mother Beloved is killed by her ow

39、n mother when she is only about one year old. Her mother, Sethe, cut her throat with a sharp handsaw. Sethe doesn’t want her children to experience what she has experienced in the Sweet House. Living there is a rather unpleasant experience for her. She is put to the animal side and works hard but be

40、ing treated as a cow or goat. The two white slave owners hold her down and take her milk away. What’s more, her saint love as a mother is invaded cruelly. Finally, Beloved becomes the only one who escapes from the earth because of her mother’s “help”, but at the same time she becomes the only one wh

41、o is deserted to the world full of darkness. At that time, she is still a small baby who could only crawl. She has to be used to facing the darkness by herself. 1.1.2 Beloved Is Hated by Paul D Paul D plays an important role to repress Beloved. From the beginning to the end, what he does is to ex

42、orcise Beloved out. When coming into the house of 124 for the first time, he uses his power to force the baby ghost go away. when Beloved comes back to the earth in the form of a woman, both Sethe and Denver treat her as a member of the house, but only Paul D could not accept a stranger again, even

43、bases on the fact that he doesn’t know this woman is the ghost. So maybe his prejudice and unfriendliness is not pointed to Beloved but to all the persons who snatch Sethe’s love. However, his hostile mood and his feeling or attitude to other intruders have made Beloved a person who could not get lo

44、ve from him nor from her mother at last. Paul D has played a role in repressing Beloved. He has no relation with Beloved but adds more bitterness on her. 1.1.3 Beloved Is Expelled to the Edge of Death by Her Sister At the end of the story, as the sister of Beloved, Denver comes out of the house t

45、o seek help from the community, thus making Beloved disappear. To some extent, Denver is the murder of Beloved who has come back to the earth. If it were not for Denver, no one in the community would pay attention to the house of 124, and without her, no one would come to the house to expel Beloved.

46、 Whether Beloved does right or wrong, it is a fact that her sister sends her to the death once again as her mother did 18 years ago. 1.1.4 Beloved Is Exorcised by the Community The black community exorcises Beloved from 124: They treat her as just a haunted ghost, hates her and then forgets her

47、 For a very long time, the community has ignored the family of 124 where Sethe and her children live. Because Sethe kills her own daughter and all the people living in the community think that a mother who could murder her child would definitely not worthy of getting along with. “The community mak

48、es the family of Sethe live separately for nearly 19 years.”[2] But when Beloved comes back as a ghost, they show their empathy to Sethe for the first time and they try to drive the ghost away from their group. This behavior shows that comparing the criminals that the alive person has done, people w

49、ho live in community could not endure the things the ghost does. Beloved sees that the black people become a hill before her. When the ghost without skin comes and takes her away to the darkness again, the community expellees Beloved out successfully. They give no living space for the pity girl at a

50、ll Beloved disappears, in other words, she is destroyed once more. People forget her. What Beloved left is just a dream that everyone is not sure whether it is true. This forgetfulness is the betrayal to Beloved, but also the necessity for the black people who are still alive. This forgetfulness i

51、s one thing that makes Beloved a floating dead soul who is poor enough1.1.5 Beloved Has No Identity of Herself From cradle to grave, she even does not have a real name. When the minister makes his preach, Sethe hears the word of “Dearly Beloved” and mistakes the words as the dead people. Then sh

52、e offers her sex to make an exchange with the burier. Thus on the grave of the dead girl there comes her name---Beloved. No lucky children, or in other words, no child that gets enough love could get his name in this way. What’s more, in fact, it is not a name at all. “Everybody knows what she is ca

53、lled, but nobody anywhere knows her name.”[3] She is such a child that has no identity at all. 1.2 The Racial Problems Reflecting from the above Facts In Beloved, the author explores one of the most serious problems in America?the racial problem through the fact that Beloved is not beloved. 1

54、.2.1 The Historical Origin of the Racial Problem The dark place that Beloved lives lonely is one that of the dark hot quarters, a pile of dead bodies. The water may be the representative of the “Middle Passage” to transport slaves. Slavery is the origin of the racial problem that makes their col

55、ored skin a brand for the inferior. Thus hundreds of years after the time when slavery ends, the black people still live at the bottom of the American society. In the slavery society, the black people are not humans who have the independent identities, they are treated as animals. And because of the

56、 slavery, the white people have the prejudice and discrimination towards the Black1.2.2 The High Rate of Criminal for the Black The dehumanizing slavery, as well as the racial discrimination has driven the black people to be brutal. The white people think that in every black person’s heart, ther

57、e is a wild wood, but they do not know it is their cruelty that makes this wood uncontrolled. The more the black want to estimate that they are human, the more cruel would the white exploit them. When they are driven to some extent beyond their endurance, they would turn to the violent force, even t

58、o murder. The black people, a weak group, are more tended to use violence to solve problems. Sethe, a black woman, is the representative of the weaker. She could not use violence to hurt the white who has persecuted her but only could hurt her most imitate children. The mother who is helpless could

59、only choose to kill her daughter to protect her and then go to the prison. America, a country which is considered as “the paradise of freedom”, makes so many people feel helpless as in prison. It is the result of the slavery and the racial problems. 1.2.3 The Lack of Education for the Black Most

60、black people are illiterate. Few of them have the chance to get education, because the society show prejudice to them. Sethe even could not understand the simplest address of the preacher, thus giving her dead daughter a name like Beloved. The limit of the language is one signal of the poor education level1.2.4 The Black Suffer the Most The racial problem is the chronic illness of America. The black people could not face the past. Indeed it has the condonable and harmonious surface,
