Abstract

Toni Morrison’s Beloved offers a powerful literary response to the enduring wounds of slavery and racial violence. This study aims to analyze how the novel illustrates Black trauma as a shared, inherited, and historically grounded condition. Drawing on Frantz Fanon’s theory of colonial trauma, the analysis focuses on psychological fragmentation, social alienation, and embodied memory to reveal the lingering effects of oppression across time and generations. Using a qualitative approach, the study examines Morrison’s narrative methods and character portrayals. Ultimately, the novel frames healing as a nonlinear process rooted in reconnection, acknowledgment, and resistance.

Abstract

The background study for the research lays the foundation by contextualizing the importance of exploring the relationship between the supernatural realm and escapism in Neil Gaiman's novel ‘Coraline’(2002). Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" has captivated readers with its imaginative narrative and the exploration of a parallel universe that serves as an escape for the protagonist, Coraline Jones. By using qualitative descriptive approach through ecocriticism point of view, this study seeks to delve into the intricate construction and portrayal of the supernatural world within "Coraline" as a compelling form of escapism. The study finds that Coraline is drawn to the supernatural Other World as an emotional escape from neglect, but this environment, though initially idealized, gradually reveals itself as artificial and dangerous. Ultimately, the novel critiques escapism by showing that fabricated worlds built to satisfy human desires are unsustainable both ecologically and psychologically.
