Naming in Beloved

“definitions belonged to the definers—not the defined.” – Schoolteacher  (Beloved)

from http://www.marketingtechnews.net/news/2013/may/17/11-tips-for-creating-great-brand-names/



Greetings, Students. 

Think about the names in the novel Beloved and what is named and unnamed in the novel.  You may have your own ideas about names in the novel or you may want to think about Beloved’s name and origin.  The unnamed ‘she’ that Beloved is always seeking is another instance of naming worth considering.


Draw connections between Schoolteacher’s quote and instances of naming  in the novel.  You may want to also consider drawing connections between the quote and other instances of naming  American culture.
