Fluidity of Morrison's Stream of Conscoiusness

Toni Morrison's novel, Beloved, is an incredible novel in many different ways. One way the novel especially stands out is through Morrison's fluid writing style. The superimposition of the supernatural over such a haunting period of time gives rise to many different interesting narratives. Morrison weaves these narratives together allowing for a feeling that all the character's are bound in some way through the horrors of slavery, whether they have lived it or experienced it through the rich stories they hear. She gives rise to a feeling of communal memories shared by all the characters through her fluid language. She leaves the flow of narrative ambiguous allowing the same sensation or stories to belong to different characters at the same time. The fluidity of Morrison's stream of consciousness allows another dimension to her novel and allows the reader to feel the terrors of slavery and how its effects stretch through all the post slavery characters.
