Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child depicts the childhood traumas of several characters. Bride had unforgettable childhood traumas because of her dark skin and because of it she got little affection from her parents. To have her mother’s affection, she had to tell a lie that a teacher, Sofia, abused several children and in a court, she accused Sofia as a child molester. Booker, Bride’s boyfriend, also had unspeakable traumas from his old brother, Adam’s torture and death by a pedophile. So he demonstrated strong anger whenever he came across similar situations. He acted like a catcher for children’s safe, and punished sexual criminals relentlessly. Morrison raised a question that children who have strong traumas can live whole and what lesson they can have at the end of this novel. Fortunately, Bride and Booker had ancestors in this novel who guided them to a safer place. This novel’s main characters needed repentance and proper mourning for their new lives. Morrison also emphasized the effect of good deeds. Bride and Booker realized the importance of keeping a distance from their situations and difficulties and of helping other people.
