Places in Beloved

MOWW:

With each character’s fluid interpretation of things associated with red, Morrison opens a window into the viewpoints of former slaves when overcoming adversity and demonstrates the necessity of a flexible sense of morality.

124 Bluestone Road:
"What kind of evil you got in here?’ ‘It's not evil, just sad. Come on. Just step through.’”

Sweet Home:
"And it would hurt her to know that there was no red heart bright as Mister's comb beating in him.”

Clearing:
"He sat on the porch in the cold till way past dark and went to his bed only because his sister's voice calling him was getting nervous. He kept the ribbon; the skin smell nagged him, and his weakened marrow made him dwell on Baby Suggs' wish to consider what in the world was harmless. He hoped she stuck to blue, yellow, maybe green, and never fixed on red. ”
