When they do find out it was her, they were excited and scared and nervous all at once. Denver feels a close bond with Beloved because Denver knew that she had drunk some of Beloved's blood with her mother's breast milk. However, later on Beloved begins to go crazy and tries to overrun Sethe to where the whole family is suffering. Denver goes for help and gets a job. When her employer comes to pick Denver up, Sethe mistakes him for Schoolteacher and tries to kill him while Beloved runs away. The ladies that came to run Beloved away stop Sethe and she goes into a slight depression. Paul D comes back and the story ends with everyone trying to forget that Beloved ever existed.
This book was banned for two big reasons and a few smaller reasons. The most frequent reasons were that it contained violence and pornography. The reason of violence was very true because in chapter 16, Sethe holds her baby with the cut throat and her other two boys sit on the ground bleeding and she was just prevented from smashing Denver's head into a wall to kill her as well. To pay for a headstone, Sethe gives ten minutes of sex to a man to carve the name "Beloved " into a headstone. This part was not explicitly explained but Morrison made it obvious what she was talking about. Also, in chapter 26, Sethe tries to kill Mr. Bodwin with an ice pick. Lastly, during the whole book, Beloved is violent and breaks objects and throws stuff and takes control of her mother and sister and the whole household. She has sex with Paul D more than once as well. These parts are definitely violent and there are some sexual parts that were mentioned but they're not detailed enough to be called ponography. The parents thought that their kids weren't mature enough to read this kind of text, so they had it banned.
Along with the two most common reasons were two more uncommon reasons being that the lexile level of the book was too low and that it gave kids nightmares.
