This story was about a run away slave named Seth and her daughter named Denver. They live in a house that is haunted by the ghost of one of Seth daughters that was killed. The ghost's name is Beloved. They get a visitor named Paul D that use to be a slave at the same plantation as Seth. They quickly build a relationship and Denver feel left out. Beloved is unhappy about Paul D and tries to beat him up.
I thought this story was really sad and shows the hash reality of Slavery. This story was so sad because I felt that all the characters were disconnected from reality because of the hard lived they had had. They all had been pushed down so much that they couldn't live there lives. The ghost Beloved I think symbolizes as the oppresion of slavery.
