Beloved 2

Morrison loves to throw curve balls int his novel. Who would have thought that Paul D would have sex with Beloved. As ra reader I thought that he had strong feelings for Sethe. Beloved's character is very strange for a reader. She has this power over everyone and anything. It didn't seem as though Paul wanted to have sex with her but she some how manipulated him into doing it. Her needy and wanting feelings does not show that she cares for Paul but just wants to be wanted by someone. Beloved seems to have a hold on many people and make them cling. Denver gets caught in Beloved force field. What I don't understand and am confused about is why are these people believing that this supposely dead girl is alive?

I am finding this book that I heard was very good to be very strange and confusing. I hope to figure out alittle more about what is going on through discussion in class, maybe it will have a new look ont he novel.
