It’s Day 28. I managed to finish Beloved but couldn’t keep up with daily posts. I’m glad I read it, especially in community, but it was a hard read. I especially enjoyed learning and reflecting with others. Thx for hosting us @marcusluther.bsky.social and @heymrsbond.com

Though Sethe’s actions were violent; they were also protective. I found schoolteacher’s thoughts, words, and actions the most violent part of the chapter.

How Morrison described schoolteacher and the nephew’s thoughts and reasoning was visceral—the root of the dehumanization was demonstrated in their speech and actions.

I thought about how I could avoid this chapter but knew, ultimately, I would have to read it.
Beginning with “the four horsemen” + Baby Suggs’ sense of impending darkness from Ch. 15 sets the stage for the evil demonstrated by schoolteacher and his entourage.

“Terrifies me as a reader.” Well put. I’m anxious just thinking about the next chapter, knowing something dark is coming.

Like learning a bit about Paul D’s history, I loved learning about Baby Suggs, one of my favorite characters.
I’m sure I’m not ready for what’s to come based on the dark thing she feels coming. Especially after reading the first phrase of Ch 16.

“. . . fact was she knew more about them than she knew about herself, having never had the map to discover what she was like.”
This passage and the paragraph that follows touched me.

I want to know/understand Beloved more but am a little cautious about what’s to come. I didn’t expect her to have such power over Paul D, so I’m sure I’m underestimating who she is and what she can do.

It was the immediate sentence prior that made me curious. “Among the things she could not remember was when she first knew that she could wake up any day and find herself in pieces.”

I suggest "dream scene" because of my literal reading of how he woke himself by saying "Red heart" so loudly. But, maybe he awakened emotionally in his sexual connection with Beloved? More double meaning?
