"Beloved" and Conscience, 2004.
This paper reviews Toni Morrison?s ?Beloved?, focusing on the character Beloved.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Toni Morrison?s ?Beloved? is a history, memory, and the terrible shadow of the character Sethe's past. The author believes that Beloved is the physical manifestation of Sethe's guilty conscience because Sethe?s desire to protect her children from the horrors of slavery overpowered her humanity; she brutally murdered her baby and buried it under the headstone, "Beloved". The paper relates that Beloved disappears when Sethe is reconnected to the community because she can finally accept her guilt and reattach herself to her conscience, the part of her that Beloved embodied.
From the Paper
"Sethe is relieved, because for her, ?the future was a matter of keeping the past at bay" (52). However, Denver is upset, because Paul D has driven away her only friend, and has begun to come between her and her mother. As a peace offering, Paul D takes Sethe and Denver a carnival, which makes Denver realize that a life with a man around instead of a ghost might not be so bad. But Sethe?s consciences refuses to be banished so easily, and just as things are looking up, it returns to disrupt things, this time in the form of Beloved."

Toni Morrison's "Beloved", 2004.
An examination of Toni Morrison's "Beloved" as a representation of slavery.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper focuses on the symbolism of the character, Beloved, in the book of the same name by Toni Morrison and looks at how slavery's legacy is represented through Beloved's interactions with Sethe and Paul D. Examples that are discussed include Beloved's affect on Paul D's "rusted tin can" heart and how this is representative of slavery's legacy and Beloved's progressing physical state throughout the novel and how it is symbolic of Sethe's ability to cope with her past.
From the Paper
"As Sethe delves further into her past, Beloved?s control over her grows stronger. The relationship becomes more parasitic, with Sethe constantly trying to cope with her horrific past and the gruesome crime she committed. She repeatedly tries to justify her actions to Beloved, like when she says, ?I?ll explain to her, even though I don?t have to. Why I did it. How if I hadn?t killed her she would have died and that is something that I could not bear to happen to her? (200). It seems as if the presence of Beloved forces Sethe to fully disclose her past and, consequently, Sethe learns how to accept it."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the plot and main characters of Sethe and Beloved in Morrison's novel. This paper details Morrison's unique manner of incorporating mythology and superstition in this particular novel, while also discussing its significance in ancient African culture. Morrison's novel illustrates the horrors of slavery as seen through the eyes of Sethe, a slave struggling to gain her freedom and Beloved, a ghost wracked by the pain of slavery and death. This paper also delves into African views regarding death and the afterlife by focusing on Beloved's spirit which is connected to slavery as a collective whole. The writer contends that Morrison's use of mythical images unites African heritage and culture resulting in a novel that his both authentic and believable.
From the Paper
"In connection with Sethe and her journey, we discover that the promise of freedom is often prettier than the reality of it. Sethe was soon found out by Schoolteacher and rather than go back with him to Sweet Home, Sethe decides that jail time would be a better choice for her and her small baby. Here we see the devastation of slavery portrayed in Sethe's short response to Paul D when she tells him, "Any life but that one. I went to jail instead." Here we discover an interesting aspect about Sethe and he search for freedom--even though the dream did not turn out as she once intended, it was still better than the life she once knew. Beloved explores many different realms, the most predominant being that of the supernatural. Morrison successfully captures how the African culture readily accepted the notion of a ghost or premonition, thus articulating the mythological presence in African culture."

?Phaedo? and ?Beloved?, 2002.
An examination of the similarities and differences between Plato?s "Phaedo", and Toni Morrison?s "Beloved".

Abstract
The paper shows that the mind in terms of memory and knowledge, the body and love are all themes that are tied closely together in both "Phaedo", by Plato, and "Beloved", by Toni Morrison. Both works focus intensely upon these themes and demonstrate that the corporeal life and existence are separated from our minds and thus our souls. The paper examines how love and that which we know (and forget) are independent of our corporeal selves ? as is demonstrated in both works though an emphasis on discussing the supernatural. The ghosts in "Beloved" and the sentient souls in "Phaedo" both represent the separation of the contents of the mind and heart from their physical containers. The paper shows, however, that Plato?s discussion is one of academics. His intent was not to soothe, but to instruct. Morrison, on the other hand, takes a very different approach, one of spirituality as being separate from intellectuality. The paper concludes that the effect is that while both authors say the same thing, they do so in such a different manner as to make the same theme in both works to be quite different.
From the Paper
"Toni Morrison?s Beloved, centers itself, brilliantly, upon this very dialogue ? what is the truth? What is it that we know, what is our memory? What is death? The idea of death and memory, thus the loss of that which makes a person once their soul has departed ? a concept that is reinforced at the very beginning of the story when Baby Suggs talks of her sorrow that she can only remember ?scraps? of her eight children. Here, death is understood, as in Phaedo, as that which separates the person, that which we remember, from their bodies. Memories provide a way for the soul to ?revisit? the living. They change how we view the now. As the memories of a person are separate from that person, then they, in effect, like the soul, are immortal."

This is the case with well known author Toni Morris and her work Beloved.

"Beloved Juggler", 2007.
An analysis of Dennis Vannatta's short story, "Beloved Juggler".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that Dennis Vannatta's short story, "Beloved Juggler" celebrates the love between a father and son, focusing on the feelings of the son. The paper portrays how the story deals with the pain of a son coming to grips with the death of his beloved parent. It also conveys the story's warm, loving tone that draws the reader in and shows how the story achieves much of its power through its relative simplicity.
From the Paper
"This story achieves much of its power through its relative simplicity. Instead of attempting to detail every aspect of the relationship between father and son, Vannatta settles for focusing on just one key symbol - juggling. Throughout the story, the father boasts that he can juggle impossibly difficult objects. The juggling feats are so extreme that they give the story a humorous tone. While he never actually juggles, if one reads the juggling as symbolic, then perhaps the father does indeed juggle. If he was a good father - and it is clear that he must have been, judging by the son's feelings - then he would have had to juggle many things in his life. For example, parenting, working, being a husband, playing ball, etc. Thus, the juggling symbol may be viewed as an oblique tribute to the father's abilities and achievements. It certainly seems likely that the juggling symbol is meant as a tribute, because of the fact that the story is characterised by a warm and loving tone."
