Abstract
Toni Morrison is a common name in the realm of racist literature. She gained instant success and fame through her novel, Song of Solomon and continued to hold her eminence as a prolific writer until her death in August last year. She is one of the very few women writers who won the Nobel prize for her seminal literary contributions. The novel Beloved draws inspirations and incidents of life of a slaved who was entrapped in Kentucky. His escape to the Free State by crossing the river Ohio has formed the foreground to the novel. Margaret Garner, the slave enslaved killed her child as a refuting testimony to her slave subservience. She wanted her child to die a death of freedom rather than enslaved in chains and untoward bondage.
