Sula

Sula, a story about the presence and absence of family and friendship. The theme of the novel is the question of right versus wrong or good versus bad; but the conventional ideas of good and evil are turned upside in Sula. Throughout the book, Sula is judged to be bad by the society that surrounds her, while Nel is thought to be the picture of goodness; as a result, Sula sees herself as evil, while Nel judges herself to be good. At the end of the novel, however, Nel reveals that she has an evil heart, while Sula's heart is really much purer. From Sula’s point of view, the theme of love and death, and family and friendship is consistently reflected through out the lives of the protagonist Sula Peace, and foils, Nel Wright and Shadrack.

The plot within the frame narrative is developed in a traditional pattern. Sula is

introduced in the third section, and the rest of the book centers on her and her friendship with Nel, which constitutes the rising action of the plot. In the seventh chapter, Nel marries, causing Sula to leave The Bottom for ten years. Part One of the novel ends with

When Sula returns to Medallion, Part Two begins, and the plot resumes and moves rapidly

when Nel decides to marry Jude, Sula feels totally betrayed. When Sula returns, she and Nel try to be friends again, but Sula ruins it by having an affair with Jude, Nel's husband. It is almost as if she were subconsciously striking out at Nel for having married Jude, making Sula feel abandoned.

In 1970, her first novel The Bluest Eye was published under the name of Toni Morrison. Sula followed in 1973. It was her second novel, and deals with themes of race, womanhood, the effects of history, and the contingencies of love, examining how all four intertwine to affect the beliefs and actions of individuals. Several other novels followed in quick succession: Song of Solomon (1977), Tar Baby (1981), Beloved (1987), Jazz (1992), and Paradise (1998). Besides being a popular novelist, Toni Morrison has won almost every major literary award and honor, including the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the Chianti Ruffino Antico Fattore International Award in Literature, and the Nobel Prize. She has also been recognized by numerous national and international literary organizations and served on several public commissions governing the arts and education.
