Responding and reflecting #1

A mother would do anything for their daughter right? Even if its wrong you learn to accept and forgive. I mean it is the women who brought you to life and would do anything to protect you. Coming to the end of Beloved  we find out that Sethe kills her baby as who we recall as Beloved (175). Ever since Beloved came from the water where she was found, she has always given this feeling to the reader as if she came from the dead (87). Going into part 2 things start getting from weird to suspenseful. We find out that Denver feels a change between Sethe and Beloved. What Denver does to try and help her mom is that she goes to Lady Jones to ask for help (291). My Critical Lens is Feminist lens. Even though in this summary of what happened to beloved give more of a different view you could still tell how Beloved treated Sethe,

Beloved was a spirit that came back to be with her mother, however She did not know who she was or why Beloved came. Over time beloved started getting weaker and when she was getting weaker, she also made Sethe become weak with her. The reason why this is feminist is because women are known as being weak. So when Beloved starts acting like “Sethe” by putting on her clothes and acting like the mother. She makes Sethe look as if she was her daughter. In the beginning of the book we know Sethe is trying to be strong and move on with her life which makes her outstanding. However beloved makes her look weak by treating Sethe like if she was a child, who could not  speak or do anything without permission.
