Kristen Over, Associate Professor at Northeastern Illinois University, provides an in-depth summary and analysis of Toni Morrison's famous novel Beloved.
Toni Morrison's Beloved, first published in 1987, tells the story of Sethe, an escaped slave. Tragically, Sethe murdered her own infant daughter rather than allow the child to grow up in slavery. This terrible past returns to haunt Sethe's home and family in the form of Beloved, a ghost that is central to all the events in the story.
In the novel, we encounter characters such as Baby Suggs, Paul D, Denver, and of course Beloved, whom we learn about in relation to Sethe, the protagonist. Themes such as identity, guilt, and past vs present are all explored in an unforgettable plot. It is a vital, haunting work in modern African-American literature that raised important, unanswered questions about America's history and culture.

i wasn’t able to read this book … the writing was too confusing for me. thank you for this ! it helps me understand it a lot better
I returned book after Christmas and three days
Your a thief
I read this book in my first year in Uni. It was very traumatizing for me,probably because I was too immersed in the story. I dreamt about it for weeks. It got recommended again in school and just the thought of it scares me to death. I can’t bear reading it again. That’s why I am here.
If you can read, it is a very good read. It opens your eyes to a lot of things. Just try to detach yourself from the story for your mental health.
Sachi
This video is very helpful to my study.thank you❤️❤️❤️
Who else is here because of their teacher?
Me!
Not me!
In a way I'm here because of my teacher, but only because he is making us write an essay on this book for our midterm
@@shreyasvaranasi7629 same
Me
I had to ready this book but its was so hard to understand thank you for this summery.
Thank you so much for this incredible video! It has greatly succeeded in helping me study as well as thoroughly analyze the novel.
Never, better chances with your grandfather
it's so helpful for me to read this book as well as my essay!
Maybe you should try to read, oh I don't know, a good book?
It is your fault, man up
Great book!
missing the relationship between Paul D and beloved, where beloved tries to seduce him several times, bringing up hi memories of slavery, and how he was emasculated.
I'll surely fail without course hero
Why was this book banned? It's relatively tame compared the media teenagers consume now. Do you know how high school students have already watched Squid games?
It was banned because some people were conned into believing it had something to do with CRT, so the racist white people didn’t want it in schools because they heard CRT is bad and it makes white kids feel bad about themselves 🤷🏽♂️🤦♂️
@@tonystarks2713 it does have something to do with crt, you disingenuous dummy. Not to mention, SOMEONE IN THE BOOK CUTS A BABY'S THROAT WITH A HACKSAW.
By the way, stop calling everyone that disagrees with you racist. You're not only taking away the meaning of the word, you're creating actual racist that weren't there before.
@@tonystarks2713 BP suck, by the way. Fix your crappy culture and maybe people won't think so poorly of you.
@@PipByMac The fact that you said “someone” cuts a baby’s throat tells me right there that you haven’t read the book nor watched the movie so you don’t even know what you’re talking about you disingenuous idiot🤣🤣. This book has nothing to do with CRT, it’s just a graphic and at times weird book about a former slave who lost her damn mind after being haunted by her dead baby. Damn, why are people so ignorant??? Oh it’s because they don’t read and they only assume….smh
Wow 👍 nice American literature
You forgot a *LOT* of things, Course Hero.
well its a summary..
Why would you make us pay for this? Like it was free before...
Baby sugg was a baby or a name
a name
Good summary but fails to give the historical context behind the movie which would have been helpful (Slavery, Fugitive Slave Act, etc).......DW.
Ib gang reviewing
منو هنا كشما فاهم من الموضوع 😂
It is far more worse than bestsellers craps.
Have you read this book at all
@@sakuraitaurus Oh no, not at all most fortunately.
I love how people want to ban Dr. Seuss but allow this trash to be read by children
trash?
L+ratio claim
no one’s reading beloved to children…
I’m in college and we are reading this we aren’t reading this in Highschool or middle school sir next time it will be easier to say your a racist
@@nanayaa.a6387 I'm sorry you're black and that's the only argument you have. Also, if you're going to claim superiority to me in an argument, maybe you should learn how to form a grammatically correct sentence.
Dumbass.
How come this kind of books can win Nobel Prize. Full of trash. I knwo black people had been treated unfairly. But this kind of books do not provide any healing or comforting to suggesting any vision for the future.
Black people deserve for their story to be told. This was based on a real enslaved woman who killed her children to save them from slavery. Are you scared of facing the reality that African Americans endured through, or do you hate being uncomfortable because your privilege is being threatened?
