Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon has multiple themes that can possibly be interpreted throughout the novel.  Theme’s like Masculinity and Femininity, Racism, and even the power of names. The character Hagar, Pilate’s granddaughter, follows a specific theme herself. The theme of the unavoidable desertion of women who give more love than they actually would receive. Throughout Song of Solomon, Hagar attempts so show her love and affection to Milkman but is more than often shut down during her endeavors to do so. For example, in part 2 Chapter 13 there is quote from Hagar that goes on to say “Look at how I look. I look awful. No wonder he didn’t want me. I look terrible.” Hagar begins to feel as though that she may not be acceptable enough for Milkman to approve of her love. It shows that she will go through great lengths to impress her lover. This fact about her helps build the theme and gives it more power and an impacting meaning behind it. It is possible that the theme of the inevitable abandonment of men will connect to readers and put into perspective of some things that may be happening in their personal lives.
