Abstract: Beloved holistically put emphasis on the fragmented but interconnected issues of race and gender along with the contextual tone of slavery which becomes the frame in which human rights exploitation functions. This paper acknowledges these interrelated exploitative themes of gender, race and slavery in Toni Morrison’s Beloved and their power to devour the human rights. Furthermore it also tries to see contemporary relevance of these issues of exploitation in 21st century.
