"And they took my milk." (Morrison pg.20)
This image shows how Sethe was assaulted, abused and had no choice but to run away after. running away after this shows her strength, she was strong enough to overcome the abuse for awhile to make sure her children were safe. but, she never really overcame the event and the fact that she recalls it still with so much emotion shows she is disturbed and broken by it.

"For a baby she throws a powerful spell," said Denver.
"No more powerful than the way I loved her," Sethe answered
(Morrison pg.5)
This quote shows how Sethe and Denver make it seem like the baby is the life of the house, which characterizes how much love Sethe had for her dead child. She loves her so much that she is okay with being haunted and refuses to leave. She is determined to be around her baby's ghost and feels like this is the only way she can be a good mother.

Symbolism
' 124 was spiteful. Full of baby's venom" (page 1)
The baby is symbolized as an an animal,in this case a snake due to the venom. they are referring to Beloved, who died without being fully freed. In the eyes of those who enslaved her and probably her mother, she was property, not human but an animal they own. Opening the book like this shows that Sethe still is stuck in the past, the guilt of killing her children will not let her move on. A part of her may also feel like she is nothing more than what her captives thought of her.

She is overly attached to her daughter Denver because that is the only child she has left. She misses her sons dearly but is losing memory of them. Towards baby suggs she is feeling an overwhelming amount of grieve seeing as she has just died in the house in which they live. For Paul D i think she was curious about him a bit which is way she almost sleeps with him but realizes he is more like a brother than a husband

I believe sethe feels abandoned and helpless. She feels this way because people in her life have either left or died because of where she is living, yet she cant leave because she said she will no longer run from anything because the price to be paid for doing so is too much.

Denver is very protective and loves her mother, this may be because she knows no one else and her brothers left, as well as her other family members dying. this leaves Denver alone, thus overprotective of the only person with her.  Paul D seems friendly towards her, because they've known each other since they were younger.
Sethe does not particularly dislike anyone so far, the only thing really bothering her is her dead baby's ghost.

From the beginning, this malevolent spirit of her deceased child has haunted not only Sethe and Denver, but the very house as well. The baby is sad/angry because it was killed wrongfully (maybe). When beloved attacks the house right before dinner, Paul D expels the ghost out, yelling at it until it stopped shaking the house. this has stopped it for now.

She kind of just lets things happen. She lets the ghost turn her house apart, she lets it haunt her. She has accepted that she can't change things, like she couldn't stop her husband from dying or her kids from leaving. Maybe because of all of the wrong that has occurred to her, she thinks that anything that happens now cannot be as bad as what she has already gone through.
