Morrison/Hellman, 2 Views of Motherhood
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that contrasts and compares two works. Lillian Hellman--in her play The Little Foxes--and Toni Morrison--in her novel Beloved--each present an intense characterization of a failed mother. Hellman's portrayal of a mother focuses on Regina Hubbard, a ruthless, conniving woman who places money above all other considerations. Morrison's novel focuses on the story of Sethe, an ex-slave who murders her baby girl in order to save her from a life of slavery. As this motivations suggests, examination of these works shows that while both women failed their children, they are extremely different, as Morrison's character acted out of love even though her actions were violent, but Hellman's characterization of Regina shows no redeeming qualities. No additional sources cited.
