Women did what strawberry plants did before they shot out their thin vines: the quality of the green changed. (pg. 76)Paul D feels that the Beloved's shining will affect him emotionally and open up his secrets and heart that he wants to hide so desperately. Paul D enjoyed the time before Beloved. He does not want to leave but afraid he will be forced out by Beloved. Her shining is a threat to his happiness with Sethe.
You had new shoes. If you walked so long why don't your shoes show it? (pg. 77)He started doubting Beloved's story. He was also jealous of her because she did not go through what he did. She has new shoes without working to get them how Paul D had to.
Sethe is protecting Beloved as her daughter. She let Beloved stay over for so long without asking her any questions. The slave community drastically varies in their willingness to help and accept the other slaves. One might be jealous of the other's better life, and the other is willing to help without question.
What does Paul D has expressly against Beloved? Why does he think Beloved has the power to open his heart and reveal his secrets?
