Toni Morrison’s novel “Sula” is extremely complex and interesting. ... I have chosen to look at the novel as a Gender Critic and a Reader Response Critic. ...
“A Gender critic examines how sexual identity influences the creation of literary work.” {Kennedy) In other words, a gender critic looks at the roles of both sexes in a work and tries to understand how they affect the story. In “Sula”, the roles of the sexes are clearly defined. ... Sula, the main character, is independent and does not relay on a man for support. ... In fact, when Sula dies, it brings a feeling of relief to the townspeople.
Another interesting aspect that a gender critic might look at is the role of men in the novel. In “Sula” the men are often portrayed as mere sexual objects, dogs that will sleep with anyone or anything.
