This paper aims to re-think the double-sided aspect of the African- American ideology of ‘flight’ through Toni Morrison’s novel, Song of Solomon. Morrison concentrates on African-Americans who intended to live freely by casting off prejudice and oppression. The free life Morrison wants to portray is attained through a flight without ever leaving the ground. The true meaning of flight emerges when Milkman experiences many trials and errors in his life. His pilgrimage and growth allow him to build a free life in a period when material northern values and traditional southern values coexisted. Milkman could be re-immersed into the Southern tradition of his ancestors and it enables him to gain a whole understanding of the nature of the culture and the true meaning of song of Solomon in which the African-American vernacular is rooted in. Milkman realizes Morrison’s true meaning of flight with the help of Pilate and Guitar, who live a free, positive and harmonious life with their feet fixed on the ground.
Abstract
This paper aims to re-think the double-sided aspect of the African- American ideology of ‘flight’ through Toni Morrison’s novel, Song of Solomon. Morrison concentrates on African-Americans who intended to live freely by casting off prejudice and oppression. The free life Morrison wants to portray is attained through a flight without ever leaving the ground. The true meaning of flight emerges when Milkman experiences many trials and errors in his life. His pilgrimage and growth allow him to build a free life in a period when material northern values and traditional southern values coexisted. Milkman could be re-immersed into the Southern tradition of his ancestors and it enables him to gain a whole understanding of the nature of the culture and the true meaning of song of Solomon in which the African-American vernacular is rooted in. Milkman realizes Morrison’s true meaning of flight with the help of Pilate and Guitar, who live a free, positive and harmonious life with their feet fixed on the ground.
