One of the themes in Beloved is the Supernatural. The supernatural plays quite a large role in this story bringing up old memories and even impacting the present. One ghost who plays a large role in the story is the baby that Beloved lost. When reading this story I got chills when Beloved described how her environment had been before she came. She described it as it being a cluttered dark and hot place. I had seen the movie before however it was when I was younger so in reading this novel now its like I can better comprehend exactly what is going on!
