Abstract
Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved is both a neo-slave narrative and a ghost story. With supernatural elements mixing in with everyday life of former slaves, Morrison writes about the experiences of African Americans who had to deal with traumas of slave life even when free. The story unravels in two timelines, with the main plot set in the present and constantly interrupted by fragmented memories. Those memories are usually marked with trauma, and give readers further insight into the backstory of the characters. Morrison uses a female ghost as a tool to link the past and the present, in order to help the characters to cope with and eventually overcome their trauma. This paper will deal with the symbol of a female ghost in Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved by first analysing the meaning behind the aspects of the ghost itself, and then by taking a closer look at the interactions between the characters and the ghost, as well as her influence on them.
