Abstract

In Beloved, Morrison successfully used color symbolism to reveal the victimization of the blacks’ society under slavery. The color symbolic image in this novel plays a great role in the profound thoughts and themes. In this novel, the author’s description of color not only reflects the differences in the living environment of black and white people, but also reflects the spiritual world of black people. Therefore, it is of practical significance to study the color symbol of Beloved. This paper focuses on the symbolic meaning of color words in Morrison’s novel Beloved, to provide some valuable references for scholars to study the image of color in the future.
