MLA-Style Literary Analysis: Melissa Schraeder

"'He Wants to Put His Story Next to Hers': Gender in Toni Morrison's Beloved"

In an introduction to American literature class, Melissa Schraeder was asked to "analyze some aspect of one of the works read this term." In thinking about Toni Morrison's Beloved, Melissa found herself returning again and again to the relationships between women and men in the text. Since the assignment was fairly open-ended, she checked with her instructor to make sure that her chosen topic—gender relations in Toni Morrison's Beloved—would qualify as an aspect of a work to be analyzed. Note that because the assignment called for an analysis of a work that had been read by the entire class, Melissa did not need to review the plot in detail.
