Final Paper (for Beyoncé’s Visual Album)
Beyoncé’s Visual album paid tribute to the struggles that black women have been going through for centuries. The album shows the strength, courage, and resiliency that black women possess to overcome these obstacles. Beyoncé teaches her audience about infidelity, abandonment, and hope and healing for black women.
Beyoncé’s visual album starts out telling the story of her husband, Jay-Z’s infidelity. During the story of Jay-Z’s infidelity, Beyoncé goes through intuition, denial, anger, and more. The writer is trying to portray the fact, that many African American women have been or are currently in relationships where their significant other cheats on them, and thinks that its okay. Beyoncé’s intuition
The involvement of sisterhood in this production, speaks to so many girls today, because these days’ women will tear each other down before they will decide to pick each other up, but the fact that Beyoncé could incorporate a good example of sister is amazing. Sisterhood is what helped Beyoncé get through the phases of denial, anger, and forgiveness. For this production, there are only females, except a very small number of scenes. The fact that Beyoncé didn’t add many males to the production stresses that idea of sisterhood even further. Beyoncé is showing us that when you have no one in your own home or environment that will listen to, that you always have other females, who understand your struggle, and who will listen. The fact that Beyoncé has other black females around her, supporting her, she can come up from the situations that she is dealing with, and can become a improved individual. During “hope”, Beyoncé talks about her miscarriage and about her baby girl, Blue Ivy. The most amount of females is present during “Hope”, because Beyoncé is trying to talk about her miscarriage, and no man can understand how she feels, like another woman who has been pregnant, or who has experienced a miscarriage could. Beyoncé is saying that without her sisters, she wouldn’t have been able to overcome the situation, she is also trying to say that women should support each other instead of hating on each other, because as quoted by Malcolm X “the most disrespected person in America is the black women. The most unprotected person in America is the black women. The most neglected person in America is the black woman”, if women hate on each other, no one is left to bring them back
