I enjoyed the Beloved and our discussion of it. I think that the online quiz was very helpful and gave me a better understanding of the book.
However, I was a little disappionted in the conversation, and the fact that Paul D was not mentioned. He is the character who has been through the most. From the prison camp in Alfred Georgia, up to Rochester New York, and down to Cinncinnati Ohio, he has been through it all.
  I think that if you put him in Sethe's postion, the day she violently murdered Beloved, he would have acted differently. This says something about the characters. Paul D who has seen more and been through more would not have committed the crime Sethe did. This makes me believe that what Sethe did was an act of insanity and selfishness.
