Presentation # 2
Topic: Application of the characteristics of Magic Realism on Beloved a
novel by Tonii Morrison.
Magic Realism:
1-) “Dreamlike and fantastic elements woven into the fabric of fiction”
2-) “A fantastic situation is realistically preated”
Tonii Morrison’s magical flair is to merge fantastic with reality by taking a character
from history named Margaret Garner who has suffered the miseries and hardships of
Slavery and killed her child rather then allowing the child be returned to Flair.
Story Line:
Story revolves around a female ex-slave Sephe who gives her daughter in order to save
her from the misiers of slavery that she has endured, but the ghost of her daughter comes
to take revenge of her murder without knowing the actual purpose behind her murder.
“ Definations belong to the definers-not the defined ” (pg. 190 )
It gives rise to racism in which one race needs another one to prove oneself, for example
in the novel white people needs black people to prove themselves superior.

Magic Realism
1-) “ It’s a tree, Blue. A Chokecherry tree. See, here’s the drunk-its red and split wide
open, Full of Fap, and this here’s the parting for the branches. You got a mighty lot of
branches. Leaves, too, look like, and dern if these ain’t blossoms. Tiny little cherry
blossoms, just as white. Your back got a whole tree on it. “
2-) New born baby was “ Crawling already “
3-) Beloved’s return as a ghost. “ A fully dressed women walked out of the water. She
bearly gained the dry bank of the stream before she sat down and leaned against a
mulberry tree.” “ The woman gulped water from a speckled tin cup and held it out for
more. Four times Denver filled it and four times the woman drank as though she had
crossed a dessert. “ “ Paul D wondered at the newness of her shoes. “
Element of terror
“ In the dark my name is beloved.Hot. nothing to breathe down there and no room to
move in. You see anybody? Heaps. A lot of people is down there. Some is dead. “ “ I
wait, then I got on the brigde. I stay there in the dark, in the day time, In the dark, in the
day time. It was a long time. “
Collective Consciousness
Political Critique
Carnival
Sethe, Paul D and Denver went for carnival to celebrate and to enjoy themselves.. This
had a very positive effect on them and they enjoyed there a lot.
“ And on the way home, all though leading them now, the shadows of three people still
held hands. “
Hybridity of time
Time is not linear in the novel is sudden shift in to the past and then suddenly back into
the present. Memories haunt people throughout the novel.
Decolonization style
Style of the novel is decolonization style because when Tonii Morrison was writing the
novel Africa was a free state it was no more under the British rule. Tonii Morrison is
criticsing on atrocities of white people.
