Lauren Song of Solomon Experts

The article I read was "Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon and Black Cultural Nationalism." by Harry Reed. Mr. Reed shares many of my views regarding Morrison and her novel, for instance he points out how Morrison portrays very strong female characters. "A deep reverence for black females and black female networks pervades Morrison's novel. She avoids romanticizing or idealizing woman's hard circumstances, but every woman, except possibly Hagar, has small moments of triumph." (Page 75) Morrison portrayed very strong female characters for not only the time the book is set in, but also for the time in which it was written. And as Reed puts it "Moreover one can view three of Morrison's women-Pilate, Circe, and Ruth-as nationalist archetypes." (Page 75).  I personally enjoy books with strong female characters and the characters in this book are all very well portrayed.
