Chapter 9
16. Why does Sethe go to the Clearing?
17. What do you make of the choking scene and its significance.
16) Sethe goes to the Clearing to recenter herself and reconnect with Baby Suggs. She is very stressed and hasn't been able to relieve that tension for years without Baby, and she thinks the clearing will help her with that. She brings the girls along so they can also feel the "remembering" there.
17) I think that Beloved wants Sethe to feel the same terror she did. I think its important that she fixes it as well, because she wants Sethe to know how much Beloved loves her and wants Sethe to love her back. It is significant because it makes Denver actually angry at Beloved, instead of just a disappointed lonely, hurt feeling towards her. I think it is also significant because it tells Denver and the reader just how dangerous Beloved really is.
