• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: University, , course: Afro-American Literature, language: English, abstract: The physical body is what acts as a mirror to one's life's experiences. Once the experiences have been lived through, they become memory- intangible, yet very substantial. The body imagery in the novel has a narrative to put forth. In the process of "restorying", Toni Morrison's "Beloved" inks out the harrowing experience of slavery by utilizing the female body as a narrative space. This unconventional method denotes to the denigrated treatment of the enslaved masses - especially the doubly marginalized black women, whose violated bodies become a bloody canvas upon which unspeakable atrocities stamp life-long reminders.
