“Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
Sethe was born a slave and through a perilous journey escaped to Ohio. Eighteen years later, living in her own home with her daughter Denver in a post-Civil War America, Sethe is still not free. She is haunted, figuratively and literally, by her past. Just when things begin to change, potentially for the better, a mysterious teenager shows up on Sethe’s porch, calling herself by the one word Sethe could afford to put on her dead daughter’s tombstone…Beloved. Toni Morrison’s banned magic realism classic, Beloved (1987), is a powerful look at love, loss, freedom, good, and evil.
