Analysis of Beloved's StyleIn the 500-word passage reproduced below, from the fictional novel Beloved, Toni Morrison explains a man's pent-up anger and aggression who is obliged to maintain a balanced position in the presence of his white masters. She uses simple language to convey her message, but it is projected powerfully. The tone is plaintively matter-of-fact; there is no evasion or obscure allusions. As a result, his work has an intensity unmatched by more complex writing. OUT OF SIGHT of the gaze of Monsieur, in the distance, praising his name, of the smiling boss of the roosters, Paul D began to tremble. Not all at once and no one could know. When he turned his head to take one last look at Brother, he turned it as far as the rope that connected the axle of a wagon would allow and, later, when they tied the iron around his ankles and tightened him also the wrists. , there were no outward signs of tremor. Nor eighteen days later, when he saw the ditches; the thousand feet of earth – five feet deep, five feet wide, in which wooden crates had been installed. A door made of bars that could be lifted on hinges like an open cage with three walls and a roof of scrap metal and red earth. Two feet above his head; three feet of open trench in front of him with everything that crawled or rushed to share this grave called quarters. And there were forty-five more. He was sent there after trying to kill Brandywine, the man the schoolteacher sold him to. Brandywine led him, in battle with ten others, through Kentucky to Virginia. He wasn't sure what had made him try it - other than the middle of a paper... who the professor had sold it to. Morrison was calmly recounting Paul D's ability to maintain physical stability, when she casually referred to attempted murder. The suddenness of this sentence causes the reader to do a mental double take, as it seems to come out of nowhere. This conveys a force that cannot be achieved through verbosity. Toni Morrison doesn't use any words she doesn't need. She tells the story clearly and simply, with just a touch of sadness. His language therefore has extraordinary power; its neutral character makes its story more real. The unexpected and shocking nature of the one-sentence anecdotes she includes makes the reader think about what she is saying. With this unusual style, Morrison's novel has a thrilling intensity found in few other places.
