Abstract

This study exploressome metaphorical uses in Toni Morrison’s Beloved. Colors are used very widely because slavery is one of the main themes of the novel and the conflict between white and black skinned people is shown as a main reason of slavery. As a result of that conflict, white and black colors can be seen very frequently. Some of the speeches will be analyzed in which colors are used metaphorically. The use of white color will be explained in deep as it is used regularly by a slave character because this color is the color of the slave owners, hunters and masters. Black color is used mainly for two reasons: to show the insults which were committed towards black people and it is also used to exaggerate the beauty of eyes. Crossing water is also a metaphor and it will be discussed; it will be shown how it is used to show a change in some people’s entire life.
