• Beloved would inch farther out of the house, with time, to greet Sethe when Sethe would come home ○ Sethe seemed to love her like a daughter ○ "Sethe was flattered by Beloved’s open, quiet devotion. The same adoration from her daughter (had it been forthcoming) would have annoyed her; made her chill at the thought of having raised a ridiculously dependent child" • Sethe told Beloved about her wedding - because she asked about Sethe's earrings ○ She made her own wedding dress ○ It wasn't a real wedding where she was able to sit down and eat the foods as the white people do ○ Honeymoon: cornfield • Sethe's mother had a mark under her boob ○ That's how sethe would know it was her mother ○ Mother was hung • Nan: was with her mother from sea ○ Told Sethe that "she threw tham all away but you… without names, she threw them. You she gave the name of the black man." (pg. 62) • Denver was skeptical of Beloved: "where are your diamonds?" "Your woman she never fix up your hair?" "and most perplexing: tell me your errings. How did she know?" (pg. 63)...
