Teaching "Beloved": Images of Transcendence.
Greenbaum, Vicky
English Journal, v91 n6 p83-87 Jul 2002
Bases the author's approach to the novel in the senior course on imagery and transcendence, investigating how characters live through devastation to find hope. Describes the use of water, tree, and animal imagery. Notes that the students, white and black, burdened by guilt and questions, sometimes read this as a reassurance that you reap what you sow. (SG)
