Motifs..

I saw a lot of motifs in the book.  Here are the motifs I saw in the book:

Color : Especially red. I remember the red ribbon that Stamp Paid had.

Sex: In the movie, Sethe’s and Paul D’s first sex felt really special and important. (I think that sounded weird…)

Milk: Sethe’s milk. Sethe’s talks about her milk in the river with Amy. And The part where these white guys were squeezing her milk like a cow. (You can really feel the dehumanization when you watch the movie and the part where the white boys were laughing while squeezing her breast.)

Blood

Trees: Sethe’s scars on her back

Winter: I just noticed that as soon as starts snowing. Sethe, Denver, Beloved faced a lot of struggles

124 BlueStone:  The number 3 is missing. I also notice while flipping the book, On the first page of 

Part says “124 WAS LOUD.” And then the first page of part 3 says “124 WAS LOUD.” I really don’t know if that’s important…

Loneliness: Their’s a lot of loneliness going on  in the book especially to Denver.

Possesion: Beloved kept saying “She is mine.”

Animals: Here Boy and Mister The Rooster. Also the way Schoolteacher measures his slaves.

28 days: Im still wondering it’s important. Sethe was hunted by the schoolteacher in 28 days after she arrived in Cincinatti
