Chapter 7
-
Explain what information the following quote provides about both characters: “Beloved
was shining and Paul D didn’t like it.” Make a prediction about what will happen in the
future based on the events between them in this chapter.

What new information do we learn about Sweet Home in this chapter? What information can you guess at which is not clearly revealed?12) Paul D is referring to Beloved coming into her sexuality and her mature body. I predict that Paul D will begin to fantasize about her and possibly even have sex with her later in the book. It seems like the conniving sort of thing Beloved would use to get Paul D out of the house.
13) We learn that Halle saw what happened to Sethe when the Schoolteacher's boys raped her and "milked" her. We also learn that as a punishment for something, Schoolteacher forced Paul D to wear an iron bit in his mouth- a sort of gag for humans. It is generally used for horses to give them tactile direction- but on humans it gags them and makes them feel like animals.
