Title of the paper : Feminist Existentialism: Parttition of Females from their Existence in Toni Morrisons Novel Entitled Sula

Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to evaluate the issues about the young, black, female main characters existential freedom. The analysis makes use of several topics, including power feminism, black feminism, existential backlash, and existentialism as it relates to black women. The examination is also carried out within the context of feminist criticism. The analysiss findings demonstrate that it is challenging for a young, black female character to develop, maintain, andor act upon her critical opinion regarding her existential freedom. The female character must deal with a variety of existential backlashes. Last but not least, the female character who insists on maintaining the critical viewpoint of her existential freedom, even after she fails to put it into reality in daily life, still has to deal with tragedy. It is helpful to examine some related issues to make the discussion easier to follow. These include the female characters existential freedom, existential backlashes, and resistance to those backlashes, all of which contribute to the female characters tragic ending.
