1. Introduction
1.1Toni Morrison and Beloved
Morrison won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993 with her masterpiece Beloved published in 1987. Morrison establishes her fame in the American literature with such achievements. Beloved, as Toni Morrison’s best work, shows readers a state of survival of the black slaves and an integration of various narrative techniques in the context of slavery. Beloved implies Morrison’s special concerns about the en-slaved black women. Morrison focuses on black women’s tragedies and miserable struggles to self-growth. It takes three years for Morrison to conceive and write. The instance Beloved comes out, it shakes the whole American literary circle, and causes considerable controversies. Newspapers extol Morrison for an outstanding command of techniques and language in narration. Beloved erects itself as a shining milestone in slave narrative in modern American literary history. Misery and tragedies which black slave women have suffered are a unbearable weight. By closely examining the text of Beloved, this paper attempts to focus on the life for the Bebisuggs, Sethe, Beloved and Denver—the three generations of one family. They suffer the thorny pain of discrimination and inhuman treatments but they bravely struggle in their self-growth. The significance in self-growth is highlighted.
