Beloved

A series of lessons for the teaching of Toni Morrison’s Beloved.

The resources run through key sections in the novel, focusing on style, content, language, structure, form, content, and interpretation. It would be most appropriate for one half term’s study of the text but could be easily adapted.

It would be suitable for any A-Level class studying the text, though this resource has been created originally for the teaching of OCR A Level English Literature: Component 2, Gothic. For this reason it makes regular use of Gothic concepts and contexts. It also make comparisons to Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, but this could easily be replaced with another Gothic text such as Frankenstein.
