Chapter 21 Journal Entry for Beloved


Chapter 21
35. Who is the narrator in this chapter? Who is she talking about? How does this narrator feel about Beloved’s return? 

35) Denver is the one speaking in this chapter. The chapter is written as a stream of consciousness from Denver, who is thinking and therefore speaking about Beloved and Sethe. She talks about how she drank Beloved's blood along with her mother's milk and how she knows Beloved is her sister. Denver is excited about Beloved' return. She thinks that perhaps Beloved has also come back to be with her, not just Sethe. To be her sister as the first line says. Maybe even wait for their father to come home, wait until they are safe from Sethe. Who Denver feared death from. She feels hopeful about Beloved's return. That perhaps things will get better. That perhaps Beloved is the love and companionship she is meant to have for her life.
