It's Friday night and I suddenly looked at the clock and remembered that I forgot my post! Well, I want to continue our class discussion about Sethe. I really feel that the reason Morrison selected such a violent death for Beloved was to show just how terrible slavery is. I think for us to focus on the issue of whether or not it was murder or whether Sethe was wrong or right in doing this is missing the point. And as for the comment on it relating Beloved's death to abortion...I'm sorry, I can see the relationship, but I really don't think it related to the book at all. And I really don't think English class is the place to discuss abortion. But that aside, overall I really enjoyed Beloved, despite the difficulties in reading it.
