Abstract

This study explores how social injustice affects the characters of the three parentless children in the novel Jazz, which tells the story of a triangular love. This chapter highlights civil rights movements which impact on black people and future generations. It is the story about the three parentless children who suffer because of the lack of parent's guidance. Morrison tries to instill the importance of mothers by depicting the lives of the three orphaned protagonists and how they meet with a fatal end.
