Beloved is a really difficult book and I'm impressed that you're reading it as a freshman when I read it this year in my AP English Lit class...but basically? I just found it downright creepy...(e.g., forced oral sex, called irrumation, btw, that will impress your teacher).
I know! My friend and I are reading it for an independent study, and although I understand it's a very important piece of American literature and some of the writing is beautiful (like when the shadows are holding hands at the carnival) it's super creepy and I can't read it at night anymore.
