The research delves into how early traumatic experiences, such as neglect, abuse, and racial discrimination, leave a lasting impact on the characters, particularly Bride and Booker. Their journeys toward healing and self-awareness reflect the broader themes of identity, race, and recovery in African American history. By highlighting Morrison's narrative techniques and the complex interplay between trauma and identity, the thesis provides a detailed analysis of how past experiences continue to influence adult relationships and behavior.enOther
