While these stories of death and restoration add to a long history of dialog, including mental health and the requirement for a cathartic affair, I question was taken the same way these two in number people took will lead me, or anyone to the same conclusions they found. However the way I trust numerous are attempting to trod is a way of self-rise, where one's innovativeness and confidence is…
HILLARD: You wrote a lot of nonfiction in the past 20 years, with a definitive non-fiction book in 1999, The Immaculate Invasion. How did you juggle the non-fiction and your work on the Woman Who Lost Her Soul?…
Just like Paul D does not feel that he can “lay claim” to his own identity, Sethe is unable to claim her own memories. Through the concept of “rememory,” Sethe gives her memories the power of autonomy. When she explains this idea to Denver, Sethe describes rememories as having physical characteristics, thus revealing the intense grip that Sethe’s past has on her present (Morrison 43). As a result of slavery, former slaves and their children are unable to escape the past or to form a concrete sense of identity and wholeness; therefore, they often conflate their identities with others or become alienated from themselves.…
For centuries the question of how a human being’s personality comes to be has been questioned. Susan Griffin’s, “Our Secret” explores the theories of a “larger matrix”, the “determining field” and our “common past” as she attempts to answer the question. Griffin’s larger matrix explains how everything is interconnected affecting people to establish different personalities depending on the time, place and family they are brought up in. The determining field Griffin is describing in her essay explains how humans are greatly influenced by specific events that have occurred causing a person to react in a certain way. When Griffin writes of the common past she elaborates on how people are influenced by what their ancestors have seen and experienced. Throughout Griffin’s essay she explains several situations where one can see any of the three elements influencing the people she writes about. All lives are influenced by either three of these elements…
To clarify context, Beloved was humming a tune that Sethe noticed to be familiar, though wasn’t able to identify exactly where the tune had come from. Finally, her memory prevails as she matches the tune to her past as a song she created to comfort her children. She claims her certainty that the tune never had the chance to leave the family as only her and her children had ever heard the tune. Amazingly, Beloved claims to have heard the tune. For Sethe and the reader alike, this is another strong piece of evidence that suggests that Beloved is simply a reincarnation of Sethe’s deceased child. There are many characteristics that Beloved possesses that can be connected to the dead baby such as: her name, age, smooth “new” skin and inability to…

I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years. Ch. 1…
Barker, influenced by the work on Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud, used her character of Dr. Rivers in her novel Regeneration to explore the mental effect of trauma on the soldiers during the war. On pg. 31 of Regeneration, Barker directly references Freud's work through the character of Dr Rivers- “He had some knowledge of Freud, though derived mainly from secondary or prejudiced sources, and disliked, or perhaps feared, what he thought he knew.”…
I want you to imagine yourself in a very different place, a different life if you will. Imagine a deep dark life driven by a sick unexplainable need. Every minute clouded by a sickness that you do not understand. This monster growing inside of you distorts every thought you have. Your decisions are no longer your own; they are this monster’s; this evil thing that eats away at your soul. Your life has spun out of control. You no longer even think to go see your children and your spouse. Your job has been long lost. Your body no longer feels like your own. You cannot bear to look in the mirror, because you no longer see your own reflection. That person is gone, lost inside you somewhere. You hate the monster that took your place, but you are too weak to fight it off anymore.…
