Literary Analysis of Sula

In this literature work, the author starts by describing the changes that occur at the bottom as the rich white people start making movements in the area and began to make changes in the same area. The author also states that not everything appears to be exactly as it looks on the outside. This, therefore, serves as a notable glimpse into many characters and how they cope with the feelings expressed in the novel (Banyiwa-Horne, 1985). Besides, the author brings a theme of confusing friendships as well as twisted love triangles as one of the many themes in this literary work. Sula and Nel have had a very complex relationship as a result of Sula betraying Nel by sleeping with her husband Jude which created differences between them. However, in the end, they realize how precious the friendship has been to them hence ending up overcoming their differences (Morrison, 1973).

This aspect of betrayal has shown that in most cases people that we are very close to may end up betraying us. When Hannah states that she loves Sula but at the same time does not like her, she tries to teach the reader about relationships in this life. For instance, the reader is able to understand that relationships are not bound to work as expected and that one can be betrayed by the other (Gillespie,2007). The climax of the story is when Nel decides to confront Sula to get an explanation why she did all this to her bearing in mind they have been friends for a long time. Finally, Nel forgives Sula for her mistakes and this brings peace to her.
