It hung there, small and alone (161).” I am predicting that Paul D must be very shocked or surprised as he does not muster to even place a pretend smile on his face. He confirms his assumption of Sethe murdering her own daughter. “It made him dizzy. At first he thought it was her spinning. Circling him the way she was circling around the subject (161).” Has Paul D considered that Sethe is not wanting to expose the truth or unveil her hidden secret because it may possibly tear apart their relationship? Does Paul D feel anxious for asking Sethe about actions because he is allowing her past to have an impact on their future? “The prickly, mean-eyed Sweet Home girl he knew as Halle’s girl was obedient (like Halle), shy (like Halle), and work-crazy (like Halle) (164).” Does this mean that Paul D himself, would have gone back to Sweet Home if he were in Sethe’s position? I can infer that he believes that it would be better to allow his children to get exploited by brutal white owners, rather than killing them. “‘Your love is too thick (164).”’ This concept makes me connect to science and how that thick blood leads to clots, which result in serious health conditions and possibly death.

I remember that he is closely attached to Denver. He picks up berries, despite he knows that he will experience scratches from thorns and insect bites in celebration of when she newly born. Moreover, he grasps Denver from Sethe when she has finished killing Beloved, in fear that she might be targeted next. I can infer that he is more for hurting yourself for the sake of your children, not the other way
