In A Mercy, Morrison describes the characters’ settling allied with having their own homes before America became a nation. The outcasts of history who represent a range of ethnic backgrounds live on Jacob’s farm. They are orphans who are separated from their families or homes due to their parents’ abandonment or natural disasters. Jacob is the generous man who provides his dependents with a paradise-like residence where discrimination does not exist. However, in spite of his personal good qualities, Jacob becomes corrupt and tries to build a grand third house to boast his rank and riches with the money he profited from slave trading. He dies before the house is completed leaving his wife and dependents in a volatile situation. Rebekka betrays Lina who devotedly cared for her during her serious illness or agony over losing her children. Morrison does not consider Jacob and Rebekka to be the real owner of the place. Rather, Morrison insists that three female slaves have capabilities of having their own homes. Lina criticizes the white Europeans for destroying nature and for oppressing the natives and restores the memory of her past. Florens, who stands on the status of writer, painfully recovers her identity after the blacksmith’s rejection of her love. Sorrow, with her renewed self, is able to live a strong life as a mother. Ultimately, they turn out to be people who can build their own spiritual homes amidst their barren surroundings. A Mercy traces the search for self-identity of people who were alienated and oppressed during the American Colonial Period.
