Explanation and Analysis:

Song of Solomon is primarily a postmodern novel that functions as a Bildungsroman. In some ways, it even has traces of the epic genre. To that end, the novel explores personal and family history as a place for intimate self-searching and self-awareness, using the framework of an epic journey to explore Milkman's psychology.
