I think Paul d is attempting to make it seem as if he isnt going to make a move on Beloved by telling sethe he doesn't like her But he really might make a move on her. On page 67 it talks about how Paul D feels about Beloved staying with them. He is trying to make Sthe think that he isn't going to do anything but i think he is and when he gets caught it is going to seem like Beloved made the first move

"what is it abour her vex you so much? Paul D frowned, but said Nothing"

"You can't never go there.Never. Because even though it;s all over-over and done with-it's always going to be there.."(46)Sethe says this to denver about Sweet Home.

It's difficult to pinpoint what Beloved is about at this point. i'm trying to figure out if it's about a house, the seperation of a family, sweet home or all of these. One theme i do recognize is that sethe refers to slavery a lot.it was confusing at first but i've discovered that Sethe was a slave and so was Paul D and everybody from sweet home. Slavery seems to affect everything that happens in the book. SO maybe this book is about slavery but it's written in a way where its not so clear at first.

Draft:
How is Toni Morrison’s view of relationships connected to real life?

I think the message Toni Morrison is trying to convey has to do with slavery and the affect it has on the lives of the people who’ve been through it. She shows this by going in back and forth between the past and the present(not sure what device this is).
How does Toni Morrison incorporate slavery into Beloved? How does Slavery affect the characters in Beloved?What ties do the characters of Beloved have with slavery?
