あらすじ・解説
Set after the Civil War, "Beloved" by Toni Morrison is a haunting tale of slavery and its devastating aftermath. It centers around Sethe, a woman who escaped slavery with her four children, and now lives in her own home, haunted by the ghost of her dead baby, whom she named Beloved. The story explores not only the trauma of being owned and dehumanized, but also the moral complexity of her actions undertaken to protect her children from a life of slavery. The past collides with the present when a man from her past, Paul D, shows up and chases away the angry spirit. However, not long after, a young, mysterious woman who calls herself Beloved comes into their lives. As Beloved becomes more controlling and demanding, it becomes apparent that she may be the reincarnation of Sethe’s dead daughter. Ultimately, the community comes together to exorcise Beloved from their lives. In her characteristically rich and lyrical language, Morrison confronts the horrific realities of slavery and its lasting imprint it leaves on those who were enslaved.
