Inner Thoughts of "Beloved" (Page 3-124)

Passage : "You lucky. You got three left. Three pulling at your skirts and just one raising hell from the other side. Be thanful, why don’t you? I had eight. Every one of them gone away from me. For taken, four chased and all, I axpect, worrying somebody’s house into evil” Said Baby Suggs (6).


Baby Suggs has a desire to Sethe, Sethe must put a huge love to her children. Baby Suggs told her about her children, Baby Suggs told her how to love her children because Baby Suggs know how it feels when all of her 8 children was taken and chased, Baby Suggs know how it feels to lose all of her 8 children. Baby Suggs struggling with any internal conflicts because of all of the problems that hit her in the past about her children. This condition makes Baby Suggs realize that she loves all of her 8 children. As Sethe’s mother-in-law eventhough she is not her real mother but Baby Suggs has a right to remind and give Sethe’s an advise just a like a mother to her own daughter. This condition force Baby Suggs to make a certain decisions that Baby Suggs should talk to Sethe about loving all her child.


Sethe should be really grateful because she has 3 children left eventhough she lose 1 daughter rather than lose 8 children like her mother-in-law in the past. Child is a gift from God that is why Baby Suggs always remind her to love all of her 3 children, Howard, Buglar and Denver.


From this novel that I have read I found a story that Beloved was killed by Sethe, she cut Beloved’s throat. It brought an id, ego and superego that appear from Baby Suggs’s mind and appear from the Baby Suggs inner thought.


Id : Baby Suggs loves all of her 8 children. She wants Sethe to love all of her 3 children after she killed one of her other child.


Ego : In her brains appear to remind Sethe if children is a gift from God that has a right to be alive and get a love from their mother. Baby Suggs tells Sethe everything about her past, about her children so Sethe could be aware for all of her 3 children.


Superego : Baby Suggs make a positive desicion to tell everything to Sethe, make sure Sethe could feel what she felt in the past so Sethe could love her child more and more.


This id, ego and superego are always appear from everyone’s brain if they want to do something and if they want to make a desicion. There will be an internal conflicts based on their id,  ego and superego to make a certain desicions or subconscious choices.
