Abstract
This paper analyzes Toni Morrison's Beloved in terms of the impact of slavery on the identity of the affected individuals and what does it take to move on and live a better life. The experienced trauma prevents characters in the novel to live a normal life and strive for something bigger and they learn that the only way of healing is confronting with the past and accepting it as a part of their personality, but not as a defining feature, but rather part of their background which should not affect their present. The first chapter of the paper is about the themes in African-American literature. The next part analyzes different types of slavery at Sweet Home. The next thing discussed are different ways of dealing with traumatic experiences based on the analysis of Baby Suggs’, Sethe’s, and Paul D’s actions, attitudes and choices. The next chapter argues that Denver is an indirect victim of slavery and therefore the biggest hope for bright future. The conclusion portrays Beloved as the embodiment of the past which demands confrontation with suppressed trauma in order to heal properly.
