A Critique on the Application of Flashback as a Unique Narrative Tool in ‘Beloved’ by Tony Morrison
Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Flashback, as a tool, has been animated by miscellaneous authors from the days of yore to enumerate their stories efficaciously. Writers employ diverse modus of operandi to conjugate the chain of events together to magnetise the readers. Such strains are applicated by authors as an innovation in their narrative fashion. Tony Morrison is one among them to master the craft and exceeded the horizon by adding more flavour to the narrative technique in her most of her writings. Morrison’s novels are dominated by flashback effects. She has manipulated the technique to bring out the best of her works. This paper focuses on the narrative technique used by the author in her novels and to critically analyse her craftsmanship.
