Toni Morrison is aware that there are no stories about the trauma of Middle Passage in Afro-American history without a great deal of obfuscation, distortion and erasure, and that the presence of black people has been systematically annihilated in many ways. Therefore, she feels that the job of black writers is to recover the lost history and rewrite it in the standpoint of the oppressed Afro-American.
In Beloved, one of the her great novels, Beloved is Sethe's daughter who was killed by her own hands, and suddenly appears in the body of a real woman. As the story goes, Beloved is not only Sethe's murdered daughter but also a symbolic figure of all sixty million black people who have been oppressed, maimed or killed since the beginning of Slavery in America. Therefore, Beloved is a symbolic witness embodying the Afro-American experience.
Morrison created the device of "remembering" and used it as a healing process of the trauma of the characters in this story. Sethe and Paul D have a traumatic experience of "Sweet Home" which they have kept forgotten but which they can not but remember as the story begins. Once remembered, the past trauma needs forgetting. This sense of wishing to forget and remember at the same time creates ambivalence Morrison's attitude to the story and its characters. There is a tension, as Ashraf H. Rushdy points out, between needing to bury the past and needing to revive it in both the author and her narrative.
At the end of the book, Beloved disappears, so that the tension between remembering and forgetting seems to solve symbolically. But the real freedom from the trauma of the past is possible through the entire threshing out from it. As Morrison emphasizes at the end of the story, Beloved is not a story to pass on. Morrison seems to wish the reader to read and understand the real Afro-American history without obfuscation, distortion and erasure.
