If a woman chooses not to seek medical attention for her unborn child, is that not the same as a mother not seeking medical attention for her baby’s aliment? In fact I believe it is and we as a society consider that negligence.

The bloodied child Sethe was holding was Beloved, her own daughter whom she killed just so that she would not have to live

The quote 'Advised by acquaintances and plagued by phone pranksters', informs us of the challenges that the mother has had to endure whilst on her journey. Nevertheless, she responds to this with an optimistic attitude by continuing her search with hope, as Dawe's use of alliteration to describe her as being a 'mighty mother, indicates to us that she will not stop despite all obstacles. Repetition is used in the lines 'we know, but we know love and thats implacable too'. The use of repetition tells the reader that the mother's love is too strong and that she will not give up regardless of whether the odds are stacked against her or not.
