Diamonds


What do the diamonds symbolize? When Beloved tells Denver about the diamonds in the water?

reply

Those where her memories of the earrings Sethe wore.

Mostly, I think, they're a way of letting us know that Beloved really is the ghost of the dead girl, because she'd have no other way of remembering that.

Pity the insomniac dyslexic agnostic. He loses sleep wondering if there really is a dog.

reply

true because in one of the scenes, young Sethe was dangling the earrings above her daughters head.
