Stereotypes of women

Many stereotypes were saying that women are weak.  Like, they can’t do this or they can’t do that.  Many people would think this, but in Beloved, Sethe was strong.  She was able to strong as a mother and as a woman.  She loved her daughter and son, but she had to kill them, because of slavery.  Not many people could kill their children, because they spend a lot of time with them.  As for Sethe, she does not want her children to go what she has been through.  Sethe does not want her children, to know how he master treated in her slavery.  She does not want her children to be slavery, so she had to do something, that not many people could do, which would be to kill their own children.  In which, this shows that women are strong, like Sethe.  Sethe risked killing her children, because she does not want her children to suffer like she did, as a slave.

Another stereotype would be women loves their children “too much”.  Sethe killed her children because she does not want her children to go through the same experience as she did.  Paul D though her love is “too thick” because Sethe chose to kill her children from slavery.  Even though Sethe killed her children from the “horror of slavery”, Paul D though it was too much for a mother to kill her own children.  He also though her love was “too thick” because she is too close attached to her children.  They were both arguing of how Sethe’s love was too much.   Even though Sethe said that she does not want her children to be taken away from her from her old master.  Paul D still though it was wrong to kill her own children, because her old master might be coming back, and taking them.
