Tony Morrisons novel, Beloved, supports the theme of the overwhelming nature of love, and demonstrates this in the relationship between Paul D and Sethe. Paul D states: "Your love it too thick,"(164) and though this statement can have a number of meanings, the suggestion that Sethes love is complex and that it is also deeply hidden beneath layers of emotional turmoil is supported in the depiction of their relationship, as well as Sethes relationships with other characters. Her actions, including the murder of her child, determined by her love, clearly supports the complexity of the theme of love in the novel.
Sethe tries to learn to love through her relationships, as a mother and daughter, as well as in her relationship with men, though this same love becomes imbedded in the web of her often torturous emotions. ... Though Paul D appears to attempt to understand the scope of her emotions, as well as the focus of her love, it is clear that there is a determined complexity based in the situational elements that have developed around her life.
The slavery and abuse that is elemental to Sethes process of burying her emotions also causes her to act out her greatest expression of love, the murder of Beloved as a means of preventing the childs enslavement.
