Toni Morrison tries to show in Sula the Black woman who defies overall patriarchal system of the Black community. It deals with the inseparable relationship between the community and the individual by focalizing the friendship between Sula and Nel. The relation between Sula and the community is explained on the ground of the concept of collective complex and the scapegoating of an individual. Sula, who has had no choice but to immerse in self from lack of specific tool for self-realization, plays the role of scapegoal and dies alone. Morrison's sharp observation exposes the dilemmas and double-consciousness inherent in African- American women experience, not only as African-American but also as a woman within the patriarchical social system. Morrison suggests as a means for self-awareness the restoration of sisterhood and African-American cultural tradition. The sisterhood between Sula and Nel is indispensable in searching for their own positive indentities. The community's unique sense of value and the individual characteristics of Sula are also important in achieving one's own positive self-discovery. Morrison asserts through Sula that the spirit that recognizes and asserts the precious value of self can become very important fundation for the Black Women's future.
