Beloved (novel)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: The schoolteacher.
  • Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Beloved. Her origin story, her personality, her effect on Sethe... oh sweet Jesus.
    • The exorcism in the film also reeks of this.
    • Don't forget 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, made even worse by her child-like outlook on it. She has the mind of a ONE-YEAR-OLD, remember.
  • The Woobie: Sethe, Denver, Paul D, Beloved... damn near everybody.
