After Sethe realizes that Beloved is her daughter in flesh form, she speaks in an uncontrolled and chaotic manner as she tries to explain to herself the return of Beloved. In Beloved, the manner in which Sethe describes Beloved, parallels the progression of Sethe’s thoughts. Furthermore, Sethe’s more and more narrow description of Beloved shows her maternal love for her because she becomes more closely connected to her. Sethe says: “I’ll tend her as no mother ever tended a child, a daughter” (236). Sethe begins by calling Beloved “a child.” This broad description shows how Sethe first sees Beloved in a general way. She then calls her “a daughter.” By calling her “daughter” Sethe narrows the description of Beloved but the use of the article “a” still shows Sethe’s broad view. Finally, Sethe says: “She my daughter” (236). Through the possessive pronoun “my,” Sethe states and fully realizes that Beloved is her own daughter. Sethe’s thoughts progress from a broader to a more specific labeling of Beloved, thus demonstrating Sethe has finally understood Beloved is her resurrected daughter. Sethe’s going deeper in describing Beloved shows how she loves and comes to love Beloved as her own daughter more over time.
