초록
Toni Morrison’s Home describes the unspeakable traumas of main characters, Frank Money and Cee. Their traumas are from Korean war experiences, poverty, racial discrimination and the evil experiment of a white doctor. Morrison shows a long cure process of treating unbearable traumas. Like Morrison’s other novels, there are also wise black women and men who can heal the wounded Cee and help Frank find a safe way to rescue his sister. They are healers unlike the selfish white doctor, Beau who is reflecting a long history of medical apartheid in U. S. A. In this paper, I point out the importance of italicized chapters of this novel which are similar to the counseling session between a psychotherapist and a patient. Those chapters give Frank clarity and make him find a method to repent his sins and heal his traumas. At the ending of this novel, Frank and Cee give a proper burial and mourn for an unknown black man under the beheaded and split but surviving sweet bay tree. Morrison emphasizes the fact that like that tree, they will survive regardless of their misfortune and burdensome traumas.
