Chapter 8
14. Who does Denver think Beloved is? How does she feel about it?
15. Why do you think both girls are so interested in the story of Denver’s birth?
14) Denver thinks Beloved is Beloved. She thinks that she is the grown up ghost of the baby she's spent her entire life with, usually as her only companionship. She is happy this ghost has finally "come to life" so to speak, but is also apprehensive of how the others will react, so she tells Beloved to keep it a secret. She wants Beloved to stay but is also jealous of how obsessed she is with Sethe.
15)Denver is interested in the story of her birth because it is one of the good stories that involves her. Denver hasn't had much of a happy Sethe, because within a month after she was born things at 124 went south. Beloved is interested in the story because it represents a connection between Denver and Sethe that doesn't involve her- something she doesn't feel great about. She also is intrigued because it involves Sethe coming home to her, something that is important to Beloved.
