No love like a mother's love

I chose to analyze “Motherhood in Toni Morrison’s Beloved: A Psychological Reading”. My interpretation through the psychoanalytic lens of what she wrote was that she believes that mothers are powerful. I agree with this: our mothers represent the core of our lives. In Beloved, Denver learns that her life is centralized around her mother.  There is purpose in being a mother because of how the instincts of a woman can change when she reaches that point in her life when she wishes to bare a child. The emotional attachment to a child from her mother is extraordinary, and it hurts to break. In Beloved, Denver shares an interesting bond with her mother.  From the reading, I was able to deduce the general idea and perspective of the author. Sandra Mayfield believes that the presence of motherly love is derived from behavioral traits that contribute to the human perception. Living most of her childhood as a slave has a genuine impact on her future as a human being and will continue to change the well-being of her decision making. This argument that Mayfield makes can be seen in the actual text of Beloved. Sethe admits to killing her daughter, which ultimately made her children fear her. The text suggests that the supernatural being of Beloved was the reason people were afraid of 124. But from what Sethe suggests, it can be argued that Sethe was the reason that people feared 124. The motherly love that Sethe exhibit on her children is considered sinister and cruel.  I agree with the analysis. But I also disagree. Though Sethe is "sinister", she is only providing for her daughter. She's trying to escape the pain of sweet home. Then Paul D enters, bringing his PTSD into the aura of the house. Sethe, though defeated, still remains strong. This shows me a valuable lesson: when life becomes tough, we have setbacks. Then, we set step forward.
