Genesis, Oedipus, and Infanticidal Abjection in Toni Morrison's "Beloved"
8,816 words, approx. 29 pages
 The atom was once thought to be indivisible, but its fissionability may be the thing that brings the earth to an end along with all beings. Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' resists repetition of the myth of the Fall and of Adam, while affirming it. Pre-Oedipal desire can be seen in the disaster. 'Beloved' tries also to deal with infanticidal violence of the father. The novel is about learning to see that the world denies its infanticidal appetite and does not see abjection imposed on a slave. 'Beloved' dramatizes the abject need that feeds the relation of master to slave.
