Aggies blog about the cultural representation of Black women and the literature they produce. We center the lived experience of the Black woman as represented in literature and the terms and conditions on which she projects her own agency amidst society’s denial of it. We aim to use this place as a site of valuable information, and a space to challenge traditional paradigms about the Black woman’s identity and experience.

Denver
Denver shows throughout the story that she is a lonely soul. She wants more then anything to have someone for herself which is why she tries to connect to Beloved, Sethe's dead daughter. Denver is almost fearful to step outside of 124 because she knows that she will not be bale to handle the outside world that she hears many stories about. In a sense Denver carries the attitude in which she does not belong to either worlds presented in the story; the normal world with Paul D and Sethe nor the supernatural world that Beloved speaks of from time to time. Denver is trying to find herself and also learn how balance her anger from her feelings of being alone!
