dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines how the literary characters in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye (1970), Sula
(1973), and Beloved (1987) are inflicted by racial discrimination. The novels depict a society that
promotes white privilege, creating an isolating environment for African American characters as
they consequently suffer from internal and external racism. This thesis will examine how
Morrison utilizes essential aspects of race and racism through the novels as they illustrate the
oppression of African Americans within a dominant white culture. The aim is to determine how
Morrison uses literary arts to communicate to her readers about the legacy of slavery in
contemporary America through the exploration of the selected novels. | |
