    Song of Solomon

    • 302 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Men’s repeated abandonment of women in Song of Solomon shows that the novel’s female characters suffer a double burden. Not only are women oppressed by racism, but they must also pay the price for men’s freedom. Guitar tells Milkman that black men are the unacknowledged workhorses of humanity, but the novel’s events imply that black women more correctly fit this description. The scenes that describe women’s abandonment show that in the novel, men bear responsibility only for themselves, but women are responsible for themselves, their families, and their communities. For instance, after suffering through slavery, Solomon flew home to Africa without warning anyone of his departure. But his wife, Ryna, who was also a slave, was forced to remain in Virginia to raise her twenty-one children alone. Also, after Guitar’s father is killed in a factory accident, Guitar’s grandmother has to raise him and his siblings. Although she is elderly and ill, she supports her children financially, intellectually, and emotionally.…

    Song of Solomon

    • 1196 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The epigraph of Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon introduces the most important and central theme of the novel; flight. It reads “the fathers may soar/And the children may know their names”. The novel is focused on flight and how it affects those left behind; the driving force behind the story is an old tale about Milkman’s great grandfather Solomon flying back to Africa and leaving his wife Ryna behind with 20 children to tend to. Morrison links this tale across space and time to Milkman’s life three generations later. Milkman “flies” away to find out about his past and leaves behind his lover and cousin, Hagar. Throughout the novel, Morrison uses literal and figurative flight as a motif that can be interpreted as a vehicle for human escape; however, it also serves as the catalyst for emotional distress and feelings of abandonment. This abandonment is displayed almost exclusively by the men of the story and the abandoned are almost always the women.…

    The film The Book of Eli directed by the Hughes brothers is a cinematic display of dystopian genius. Many dystopian films critique government involvement, privacy issues, and ethical concerns. However in The Book of Eli, the Hughes brothers take a jump to a different part of modern society: religion. Numerous religions are practiced in society as they are protected under the first amendment. The written word can be interpreted many different ways whether it is for good or evil and this film does a great job outlining the interpretations. The Book of Eli is a dystopian symbol for how organized religion is abused in modern society.…
