A Comparison of Christian Symbols in Song of Solomon, Sula, and Beloved

Religion is not the central theme of Toni Morrison's work, but it builds the foundation for intertwined symbolic networks. Morrison's novels are focused on the present or recent lives of people in the past. For African Americans, past events are an important aspect of culture as they try to memorize their history, and the most influential events of these events can be traced back to the era of slavery. Historians believe that for new slaves, Christianity offers places of worship for refugees, soils that can rebuild their original spirituality symbol.

Christian symbols give Morrison the freedom to express her thoughts more directly through personal insight. Morrison's literary cannon runs through the evidence supporting these assumptions. Four novels worthy of discussion are "Song of Solomon", "Eye of Sula", "Blue eyes" and "Beloved". Each piece shows the same importance and influence symbol, but it has its own background and meaning. In Solomon's song, the reference to the entire Bible is clear even if it is the central theme of the entire book.

Solomon's songs are full of characters, especially the symbolic life is Milkman's mysterious sister Pilate who plays an important role in the woven Morrison's story. This story is in the awakening of the experience of African American in the 20th century. Sen acknowledged that Solomon's song freed her from traditional models in her writing. In one style she will be perfect for beloved novels, and Morrison evokes her story from many sounds and stories. The overall effect is achieved through a kaleidoscope of many gorgeous colors and patterns that evoke memories and history, and is achieved through one of the eye-catching characters Meikonadd, a great character of contemporary American novels.

The handling of Solomon 's literature, arts and music also touches the main theme of Shuramite and its songs of the Queen of Sheba. King Solomon and Shiba Queen did not become a common theme until the 12th century. In the image of Christianity, Solomon represented Jesus and Sheba represented the heretic, so the meeting between Sherpa and Solomon brought a rich gift to show worship of magicians. Meanwhile, Shebadenji represents the coronation ceremony of the virgin. Queen Sheba's sculpture is in the Gothic cathedral of Chartres, Rheims, Amiens, Wells. In the 12th century cathedrals of Strasbourg, Chartres, Rochester and Canterbury, decorations of stained glass windows and door frames are artistically expressed.

Before Solomon was drawn on the window of the King's College Cambridge Chapel, the Queen of Sheba was standing in the water.
