Beloved

Beloved Beloved Can a mother’s love be so strong that she could kill her own children to save them from being harmed by others' This is the question that is being asked throughout Toni Morrison’s Novel Beloved. The character Sethe, in the novel, had killed her own daughter beloved and attempted to kill the rest of her children in the fear that they would live the same tortured life that she had. With Sethe’s decision to brutally kill her children she had confronted the issues of morality, religion and spirituality. She had made the decision to kill her children who were not yet old enough to decide whether they wanted to live or die. She believed she could save her children from a life of abuse s but the only children who have been abused in the novel are those who she has hurt herself. Although, I personally have never been placed in a situation like Sethe’s, I strongly disagree with what she has decided for her children. When reading about the different stories of slaves in America it is obvious that not one of these slaves lived a happy, healthy life. beloved, morrison, toni, life, children, sethe, own, slaves, done, kill, novel, live, killing, hell, paul, horrible, decision, believed, being, wrong, white, whether, says, right, religion, people, never, lived, herself, heaven, fear, even, clearly, believe, been, after, way
