AB This thesis explores suffering and overcoming it in the main characters of all of ToniMorrison's novels, with the objective of demonstrating a hypothesis that such suffering andovercoming it constitute the central axis of the writer's novels, with two fundamentalmethods of overcoming it: one through the development of altruistic values, and the otherthrough escape or evasion to the world of fantasy. The relevance of this thesis lies inoffering different social perspectives to understand the realities affecting African-Americansociety. The methodology used to perform the textual analysis of the novels will be donewith the psychological theory of the Big Five, emphasizing the dimensions ofHumanization, Openness, and Neuroticism. We can conclude that the hypothesis isfulfilled, observing how suffering progressively fades away in the main characters, beingreplaced by humanization.
