This paper analyzes the Gothic elements in Toni Morrison’s neo-slave narrative Beloved (1987). It argues that the main character, Beloved, is the embodiment of the Gothic elements in the novel. In order to justify this claim, the paper first provides an explanation of the Goth-ic genre and its main features along with a definition of the term neo-slave narrative and its connection to the Gothic. The analysis of the novel consists of three parts, each dedicated to Beloved’s different levels of power. Her first and lowest level is her ghost form, when she is only haunting house 124 and causing commotion to her mother, Sethe, and sister, Denver, who live there. The second level is her transformation to human form, which is triggered by her mother’s attempt at finding happiness and moving on from Beloved’s death. At this stage Beloved is adjusting to the life on Earth and testing the abilities of her powers. The last level analyzed in the paper concerns the height of Beloved’s power, but also her demise. Beloved starts to feed off her mother’s life force, which makes her an incredibly powerful being, until she is stopped by Denver and a group of local women from the community, who perform an exorcism that banishes her forever from Cincinnati.
