The boys flee their home, terrified of the very mother who sought to "save" them from slavery through death. Morrison demonstrates how the horrific violence of institutional slavery warps maternal love into something terrifyingly absolute, forcing a fracture between mother and son born out of survival and fear. Jonathan Franzen: The Corrections (2001)
