    639 Words  | 3 Pages

When Beloved first appears at 124, she is said to have “walked out of water” and is “sopping wet” (60.) From the outset, Beloved is inextricably connected to water imagery. As soon as Sethe sees Beloved, she suddenly has an overwhelming desire to pee, and upon making it to an outhouse, “the water she voided was endless” (61). In this passage, there is a parallel between Beloved’s emergence from water and Sethe suddenly releasing large quantities of it, implying that Beloved has come directly from Sethe’s own water.
