is the outrageous claim of a slave." These are the
words that Toni Morrison used to describe the
actions of the central character within the novel,
Beloved. That character, Sethe, is presented as a
former slave woman who chooses to kill her baby
girl rather than allowing her to be exposed to the

Toni Morrison Dream Deferred
1,130 words
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-
And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or
crust and sugar over- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe
it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it
explode? While Langhston Hughes authors this poem,
A Dream Deferred, it can easily be interpreted as
Toni Morrison's description of Nel and her life of
sorrow and dissatisfaction. Sula and Nel, the
protagonists in Toni Morrison's Sula, are each the
only daughte...
