The experience and expression of motherhood and the voice of the ‘mute’ mothers reverberating in Black Writing is an obvious phenomenon in Toni Morrison. One of the major themes to be considered in Beloved is mother-daughter relationship. Deconstruction and reconstruction of the mother image, the unexpressed emotions and traumatic experience of being a slave mother, a burden and pressure of forcing life and survival in a mother’s body, the bond and exchange of painful memories between mother and daughter is well- expressed in the alternate fictional canon of Toni Morrison. Mother-daughter bonding and bondage suffuses Morrison's text.Morrison’s novel Beloved flourishes with the essence of motherhood. The memories of Sethe, have an indepthmaternal feelings. The love, which leads to a murderous love of a mother, her fear to save her children from slavery, her grief for her lost children dominates the novels.
