The year is 1873,and Sethe,a former slave,lives with her daughter Denver in "124," a house in rural Ohio.The house is haunted by the ghost of one of Sethe's children.Denver is the only living child who is still with Sethe; the two boys,Buglar and Howard,had fled by age 13 after having particularly frightening encounters with the ghost.Sethe's memories of her sons are fading fast.Baby Suggs,Denver's paternal grandmother,died shortly after the boys left.Baby Suggs was a weathered woman,unsurprised by the fleeing of the boys,insisting only that Sethe and Denver should bring bits of color into the house,especially during the gray Ohio winters.Baby Suggs was unmoved by the disappearance of the two boys:of her eight children,all disappeared.She could barely remember her first-born.
The spirit of the dead baby is persistent and often malicious (years ago,the baby crippled the family dog).Sethe paid for the child's tombstone by having sex with the mason,ten minutes for seven letters,which was enough for the word "Beloved." The way the child died is hinted at,as we are told that Sethe can remember the feeling of the baby's blood.
Eighteen years have passed since Sethe escaped from Sweet Home,the farm where she was a slave.Sweet Home was originally run by Mr.Garner,but after he died and Mrs.Garner became ill,a cruel man called schoolteacher came to run the farm.The actions of schoolteacher were the catalyst for Sethe's flight.
Today,Paul D,the last of the Sweet Home men,turns up on Sethe's doorstep.He was one of five men:Paul D Garner,Paul F Garner,Paul A Garner,Halle Suggs,and Sixo.All the men,back in those days,were in their twenties.Back at Sweet Home,Sethe was originally bought to replace Baby Suggs,Halle's mother.Halle had bought Baby Suggs' freedom with money earned by hiring himself out every Sunday for five years.Sethe arrived at Sweet Home,a young woman with "iron eyes and a backbone to match." The men waited a year while Sethe chose which one of them she would have for her partner.Desperate for women,the men dreamed of Sethe and had sex with calves while they waited.She finally chose Halle,sewing herself a dress so that their legally and religiously unsanctified marriage would have some feeling of celebration to it.
Sethe invites Paul D into the house.Paul D immediately encounters the ghost,in the form of a pool of red light.Sethe explains that the mysterious happenings in the house are the doing of her dead baby's ghost.In the world of the living,Denver receives Paul D with apprehension,feeling left out of the rapport and the shared history between her mother and this new male guest.Denver breaks down and says that she can't stand living at 124 anymore:no one comes by,not only because of the haunted house,according to Denver,but because of Sethe.Paul D's presence somehow allows this breakdown:he is described as the kind of man in the presence of whom woman feel comfortable crying.When Paul D asks why they don't leave,Sethe is adamant:she will not run from anything ever again.
She tells Paul D about the tree on her back,a cluster of scars in the shape of a chokecherry tree.Right before she fled from Sweet Home,Sethe sent her two sons and her daughter up to Cincinatti,where they were left with Baby Suggs.Sethe was pregnant with Denver,but the third child,the girl,still needed Sethe's milk.Sethe tells Paul D that schoolteacher's nephews took her milk,and when she told Mrs.Garner about it schoolteacher found out and responded by having one of the boys whip her.The scars are still there.
Paul D touches Sethe's breasts and the ghost becomes violent,shaking the entire house.Paul D tries to fight back,shouting loudly and smashing up parts of the house in the process.The rumbling stops.The ghost's presence can no longer be felt,and Denver resents Paul D for having gotten rid of it; the ghost was the only other company Denver had.
