African American Feminist Consciousness in Toni Morrison’s Beloved

N. Banumathi, M.A., M.Phil.

Inventive Blend of Realism and Fantasy

Toni Morrison's literary products have opened the eyes of the perceptive readers and have made them become aware of the plights and predicaments of women in general and black women in particular. In all her works the principal characters are women and it is through the female protagonists that Toni Morrison creates the right kind of woman consciousness. Cynthia David says:

Toni Morrison’s novels have attracted both popular and critical attention for their inventive blend of realism and fantasy, unsparing social analysis and passionate philosophical concerns. Her world and characters are inescapably involved with problems of perception, definition meaning; they direct attention to Morrison’s own ordering view and its implications. (322)
