This paper elucidates the structure of Toni Morrison’s novel, Beloved, using the framework of human emotions in response to grieving and death as developed by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. Kubler-Ross identified five stages when approaching death:denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. These stages accurately fill the process that the character Sethe experiences in the novel as she learns to eliminate her grief.% 本文旨在通过伊丽莎白·库伯勒·罗斯创立的死亡心理发展理论五个阶段:否认和隔绝、愤怒、讨价还价、沮丧、接受事实来阐述《宠儿》中女主人公塞丝在丹佛、保罗和黑人民众的帮助下走出痛苦,重获新生的心路历程。
