Document Summary
Engl 227- american literature- lecture 19: the centre of the self and authenticity. Building a sense of self to dredging these memories and working through them. Nephews stole her milk: other traumatic event. Return of the repressed and the refusal to abolish the concern of trauma. Beloved can be interpreted as a ghost; but a more practical explanation that paul d. explains. The sense that (post- modernism) hint of a universal identity; a soul, you don"t actually locate it in a specific way. All these questions were not of concern prior to coming to the sweet home; question of survival for her. Self- identity question are not in her radar but later in her life it bobs up to surface.
