Suffering
Sethe suffered way more than Denver. Denver is not even old enough to have gone through enough experiences to know what suffering is. Denver was never a slave, she was never raped, she hasnt gone through much. Marci is right, whatever Denver has gone through cant TOUCH what Sethe went through. Now, between Denver and Beloved, thats a different story. Yeah sure, Beloved died, but she died and that was it. She terrorized her family with no threat to herself and she comes back to life nearly immortal because of her ghostly powers. Denver had to deal with Beloved and her mom. She had to get used to Paul D and she had to grow up enough to get a job. She also had to watch her brothers leave her and her mother.
