| 1 | * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Beloved the ghost of Sethe's dead daughter, a mentally unstable escaped slave who Sethe mistook for her daughter, an embodiment of the millions of slaves who died, or a combination of two or all of the above? Denver herself says that she believes Beloved was her sister "but also something more". |
| 2 | * NightmareFuel: |
| 3 | ** Beloved. Her origin story, her personality, her effect on [[spoiler: Sethe.]]... oh, sweet Jesus. |
| 4 | ** The exorcism in the film also reeks of this. |
| 5 | ** Beloved's stream-of-consciousness chapter. It's a chapter entirely free of punctuation from the point of view of Beloved. She talks about her time in Hell/Purgatory/slave ship/who-knows-where in a really graphic way. It's made even worse by her child-like outlook on it. She has the mind of a ''one-year-old'', mind you. |
| 6 | ** The shed scene...actually, the shed scene''s''. Both of them. First when Denver believes Beloved has vanished into the darkness only for her to reappear, point to a wall and say "That's my face." We very soon learn what she means in the second shed scene. |
| 7 | * TheWoobie - Sethe, Denver, Paul D, Beloved... damn near EVERYBODY. |
