Abstract

This is a study of Alice Walker's second novel Meridian. In her first novel, The Third Life of Grange Copeland, she writes three stereotypes of black women, Josie, Margaret, and Mem, whom she assigns three different roles. Common points of these three black women are that they are sacrifices of men and that they play roles which are forced to do by men without their knowledge. There is another woman, Ruth, who seems to have a possibility of the development of herself, but she does not intend to develop the possibility of herself but chooses to stay with her grandfather, Grange. In Meridian Hill undertakes the possibility of Ruth. She is once a sacrifice of men, but she tries to get away from that by way of denying every possible negative element which may be related to her self-negation. However, the way of negation leads her to negate herself again. She notices that it is necessary for her to have an affirmative sense instead of a negative sense. Because what she has to do is to re-define the value of her historical roles, which is Meridian's final goal to set herself free.
