Toni Morrison’s “Beloved” -- Comparing Movie to Novel
[ send me this paper ]
This 5
page report discusses Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, “Beloved,” and
the 1998 screen adaptation of the novel starring Oprah Winfrey.
The writer expresses a strong preference for the novel and
asserts that the film was not a good adaptation of it. One of
Toni Morrison’s great talents as a writer is the way she develops
her characters throughout the process of the story she is
telling. Each presents himself or herself as an individual in
their own right who is about to be irrevocably changed by virtue
of the life processes they will encounter. Unfortunately, such
depth is neglected in the movie. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
