“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”
This quote is significant to me and relates to the story beloved, because many of slaves as well as Sethe believe that by killing their children is actually freeing them from oppression, hatred and any type of obstacles they may encounter in life. The life that she may live can possibly be uncertain for her children, but she did not take the time out to think nor realize any other choice besides killing them. This is a form of absurdity in my opinion, because it was foolish of herself to want to even think about killing her child. Even though, she did this act she was still unable to leave the past in the past and it began to haunt her. So, was killing her children an actual thought out act that made a difference or completely absurd.
