Analysing Feminism Literary Critique of Toni Morrison Novels
Keywords:
Toni Morrison, Literary, Book, Feminist, IdeologiesAbstract
Toni Morrison's books reveal a complex web of themes, characters, and storylines when analysed through the lens of literary analysis and feminism. Morrison, who won the Nobel Prize in literature, uses her skill as a storyteller to explore gender, ethnicity, and identity in all their complexity. Through a feminist perspective, this research deconstructs Morrison's works, revealing the complex depiction of women, their agency, the the socio-cultural influences on their lives. These works, ranging from "The Bluest Eye" to "Beloved," provide a rich environment for exploring feminist ideology, questioning societal standards, and praising the strength of female protagonists. Unravelling the complex web of connections between storytelling and feminism becomes an enthralling endeavour inside Morrison's literary environment.
