Beloved

I had a difficult time following this movie. But, I personally thought that Beloved was trying to "take" away from Sethe just as Sethe had taken her life. All sense of normalcy in Sethe's life disappeared after Beloved appeared. Sethe spent her last money on ribbons and sugar for Beloved. The house seemed to fall apart around them. I felt that Beloved becoming pregnant by Sethe's partner was to take him from Sethe as well. I may be totally off-base. I did not read the book. The movie was just too bizarre for me.

By the way, Cane River is one of Oprah's Book Club books. I found it to be very good. Has anyone else read Cane River?
