Question: Which slave's story inspired the novel that beings the "trilogy" that, according to Toni Morrison, Paradise completes?

<P0-S0> The iron bit, also referred to as a gag, was used by slave masters and overseers as a form of punishment on slaves in the Southern United States. <P0-S1>  The bit, sometimes depicted as the scold's bridle, uses similar mechanics to that of the common horse bit. <P0-S2>  The scolds bridle however, is almost always associated with its use on women in the early 17th century and there are very few accounts of the device as a method of torture against black slaves under that particular name. <P0-S3>  As opposed to the whip, the iron bit lacks the historic, social, and literary symbolic fame that would make information on the use of the iron bit as accessible. <P0-S4>  Its use throughout history has warranted some attention though, mostly from literary texts. <P0-S5>  Most notable is Toni Morrison’s novel "Beloved", which gives insight as to the emotional and mental trauma of being subjected to the bit. <P0-S6>  Even earlier, slave narratives and publications of newspapers and magazines from the 18th century on give evidence of this device being used to torture and punish slaves. <SEP> <P1-S0> Paradise is a 1997 novel by Toni Morrison, and her first novel since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993. <P1-S1>  According to the author, it completes a "trilogy" that begins with "Beloved" and includes "Jazz". <SEP> <P2-S0> Beloved is a 1987 novel by the American writer Toni Morrison. <P2-S1>  Set after the American Civil War (1861–65), it is inspired by the story of an African-American slave, Margaret Garner, who escaped slavery in Kentucky late January 1856 by fleeing to Ohio, a free state. <P2-S2>  In the novel, the protagonist Sethe is also a slave who escapes slavery, running to Cincinnati, Ohio. <P2-S3>  After 28 days of freedom, a posse arrives to retrieve her and her children under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which gave slave owners the right to pursue slaves across state borders. <P2-S4>  Sethe kills her two-year-old daughter rather than allow her to be recaptured and taken back to Sweet Home, the Kentucky plantation from which Sethe recently fled. <P2-S5>  A woman presumed to be her daughter, called Beloved, returns years later to haunt Sethe's home at 124 Bluestone Road, Cincinnati, Ohio. <P2-S6>  The story opens with an introduction to the ghost: "124 was spiteful. <P2-S7>  Full of a baby's venom." <SEP> <P3-S0> The Bluest Eye was written by Toni Morrison in 1970. <P3-S1>  Morrison, a single mother of two sons, wrote the novel while she taught at Howard University. <P3-S2>  She centered the story around a young African American girl named Pecola who grows up during the years following the Great Depression in Lorain, Ohio. <P3-S3>  Because of her dark skin color, Pecola gets taunted for her appearance as the members of her community associate beauty with "whiteness". <P3-S4>  She ultimately develops an inferiority complex, which fuels her desire for blue eyes. <P3-S5>  The point of view switches between the perspective of Claudia MacTeer, the daughter of Pecola's foster parents, and multiple third-person limited viewpoints. <P3-S6>  Due to the controversial issues the book raises such as racism, incest, and child molestation, there have been numerous attempts to ban it from schools and libraries.
