    This document discusses the use of ghosts and spectrality as metaphors in literature, specifically examining their communicative role in revealing the unknown or unspoken. It references the ghost of Hamlet's father in Shakespeare's Hamlet and the presence of ghosts in Gothic works like Wuthering Heights. The main topic seems to be Toni Morrison's novel Beloved and how the ghost in the story can be interpreted as an allegory for the lingering effects of slavery on former slaves and African Americans after the Civil War.
