I decided to go with the Feminist Lens when analyzing this novel. The Feminist perspective is always something that has been close to my heart because I strongly believe in the equality for Women. During the times of slavery there was a lot of oppression for specific groups of people, not only the slaves. There was also mistreatment of homosexuals, women, Hispanics, and more. Women did not have many rights. I find it interesting to see how gender roles have played out over the years and to compare then and now. I am always thinking about how society can change to better life for all groups of people. Women's rights have definitely hanged in the recent years but the stereotypes still exist. I would like to see if there are stereotypes in Beloved that are still around now, as well as general treatment of females.
Alanna, I can see why you are so interested in the feminist lens. Woman Equality has always been an issue all over the world. I am excited to see what your interpretation of the novel Beloved is, regarding gender equality.
