She might be in her mid 30's. She seems to be physically bigger. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149170720 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171170 Sethe seems to have mixed feelings about herself, but she can justify her actions because of her maternal love that she had for Beloved, and decided to spare them from worse deaths. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171170 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171305 Other characters might see Sethe as strong, determined, and tough. She has gone through a lot in her life, like escaping slavery and loosing children, but she remains strong, as it is described that she never looked away no matter what. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171305 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171374 The character seems to feel happy with Denver and  safe with Paul D.

Especially Denver and Paul D. However, Paul D. seems to have more passionate feelings for her, while Denver is more respectful to her mother. That is because they both have history with her. She seems to not like the people that treated her unfairly in her life. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171439 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171660  Sethe’s actions are very motherly and devoted. I think that her reactions or her actions are always meant to look out for her loved ones. She believed that by killing her daughter she was doing her a favor. She didn’t want her daughter to have the life of a slave and live what Sethe was living. Same thing with her boys. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171660 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171845  Lost, motherly, devoted, risky, uncertain, independent, troubled, alone, upset, guilty. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171845 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171918  I can be said that Sethe is not very experienced with romantic relationships. At a young age, she is with Halle Suggs, who was probably the first person she was ever with, and has 3 children with him. ]]> 2017-01-24 20:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149171918 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149174280 2017-01-24 21:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149174280 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149461417 There is color imagery when it comes to baby Suggs craving color in her life,
" 'Bring a little lavender in, if you got any. Pink, if you don't'' And Sethe would oblige with anything from fabric to her own tongue.Winter in Ohio was specially rough if you had an appetite for color" (Morrison 4). Baby Suggs was on the brink of death, and needed this color to not feel miserable. ]]> 2017-01-25 20:31:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149461417 cynthiak_esquivel1999 https://padlet.com/cynthiak_esquivel1999/849txdqfkhnu/wish/149461479 Shethe's tone is very resentful towards the schoolteacher and her family, because they abused her.

" 'What tree on your back?'  'Whitegirl. That's what she called it. I've never seen it and never will. But that's what she said it looked like. A chokecherry tree. Trunk, branches, and even leaves.'
