The scariest part of Beloved was how Sethe and Denver were literally starving because Belived kept eating everything they almost looked emaciated all the while Beloved kept gaining weight a sign of spoiling

True

As a young writer, this book really changed my perspective on literature itself. It's so haunting and beautiful at the same time. One thing the video omits is the role of Baby Suggs(Sethe's mother in law) as a unifying, almost holy force in their community. The scenes where she throws gatherings with the formerly enslaved are actual perfection.

One of the most important things Extra Credits does is recognize its own biases and try to account for them in each episode. I really love this channel because it highlights the best of humanity- the empathy, thoughtfulness, and desire for truth and justice, while also giving a voice to those who might otherwise not have a platform. Keep up the great work guys!

@satansamael666 2 года назад

This is an amazing book. It’s has become part of even the Asian school curriculum for literature due to similar experiences here in Asia in the shadow of ww2. Unrelated note, can we visit The Discourses of Livy by Niccolo Machiavelli? It’s a true exploration of what Machiavelli would want.

@karendebbiejohnson7480 2 года назад

I like how he opens with a viewer discretion advised. Those are not topics that can be easily spoken of and not everyone is capable of speaking about them. It's great that this channel actively tries and do it in such a way. I'm definitely impressed.

@Religion0 2 года назад

Not at all fun connection, but there's an Icelandic folk song about a woman whose dead baby comes back to haunt her. Only the woman may have killed the child to save it from a slow death of starvation and she has now been invited to a feast by the local lord, and the ghost offers that her mom can wear her burial shroud, probably the finest cloth they have, in a very childishly compassionate way. Disclaimer, I'm not Icelandic, I don't speak the language, if someone who does can correct me and/or point me in direction of the song, I'd be grateful. Anyway, I just think it's sad how that particular story is horrifically universal.

@yellowstarproductions6743 6 месяцев назад

@Jian13 2 года назад

I suspect Beloved wasn't just a single ghost but the ghosts of all those who suffered from slavery, both living and dead.

I read it in high school, and read it again about 2 years ago. Toni Morrison is, in my opinion, one of the greatest American authors to ever set a pen to paper.

Vergangenheitsbewältigung means struggling with the past in German. I believed that this term is the theme of the novel Beloved.

a great suggestion I have never heard of before but will be happy to check out despite how harrowing the particular topic can be but like you guys said owning up to our dark pasts is the only way to become whole again

Why did you hate this book?

@ussinussinongawd516 2 года назад

@@mercedesrivera-i4j alot of people dislike it because allegory is difficult to get across for some people, or maybe the idea of beloveds ghost wasnt clear cut (enough?) - or maybe because it fits alot of connected yet different topics together which is also difficult to get across

I remember kinda hating this book when I had to read it in high school. It was difficult to even understand what people were saying, highly uncomfortable in several fashions, and shockingly they actually removed it from my school's curriculum the year after I had done it... Hoping this video will shed some light on this book.

@ItsASleepySheepy 2 года назад

I remember having to read this book for AP English back in high school and just...thoroughly and viscerally disliking it and not being able to put my finger on why. To this day I'm not sure if it was just me as a white teenager being confronted with these issues in a way I hadn't really been before, or because of all the themes of violence and trauma, or just that it plain wasn't my thing. Probably some combination of all three.

60 million people dead in the transportation. That scale is absolutely mind boggling. How can you even comprehend a number that big? How many billions were taken from their continent? How can you even begin to fix and repair this?

@nayanvaldes1790 2 года назад

The total number of slaves transported from Africa to the New world is estimated to be 12.5 million, 15% of which are thought to have died, putting the number of deaths at 1.8 million. I don't know where they got the 60 million number from.

@bluelynxworld4748 2 года назад

Great video, but I don't think you being white and reading a story about forgetting the traumas and horrors of the past and forgetting the lessons learnt from them has anything to do with you being white. I'm pretty sure when she wrote the book, she wrote it with the intent of all people of all races to read and analyze it. And I doubt she knew what it was like to be a slave. I do know that she had to know what it was like to be discriminated against. The point is, it doesn't matter whether you are black or white. What matters is your intention with the story and your knowledge of the subject you are portraying. She clearly poured her heart into this story and she did an amazing job.

@KasumiRINA Год назад

The slave mentality is horrifying, it breaks people in unimaginable ways, like in this case, someone who would rather kill their own children than fight back... it takes centuries of conditioning, and I did see very similar stories in China or in Slavic countries, where people never lived free... It takes a conscious effort to break from the self-destruction cycle. Look at Arab Spring or Color Revolutions, Hong Kong protests, women in Iran etc., all the same problems in any part of the world.
