As Beloved becomes more and more attached to Sethe, she begins to consume Sethe’s life, devouring her stories and attention while growing larger and larger. At the same time, Sethe wastes away, becoming frail and decrepit, constantly devoted to convincing her long lost daughter that she killed her not in an episode of animalistic barbarity, but rather a moment of intense caring.
