Iron
“It was some time before he could put Alfred, Georgia,
Sixo. school teacher, Halle, his brothers, Sethe, Mister,
the taste of iron, the sight of butter, the smell of
hickory, notebook paper, one by one, into the tobacco
tin lodged in his chest. By the time he got to 124
nothing in this world could pry it open.”

Stream of Consciousness
“Beloved, she my daughter. She mine. See. She come
back to me of her own free will and I don’t have to
explain a thing.”
-Page 214
Nature
“Quiet, primate and completely secret except for
the noisome cologne signal that thrilled the rabbits
before it confused them. First a playroom, then
refuge, soon the place became the point.”

Flashback
“No, no. That’s not the way. I told you to put her
human characteristics on the left; her animal ones
on the right”

Rememory
“Sethe is the one that picked flowers, yellow flowers
in the place before the crouching.”

Repetition
“..Once with the flowers… once when she went into
the sea...once under the bridge when I went in to
join her…”
- Page 214
Gothic Romanticism
“So Sethe and the girl Denver did what they could,
and what the house permitted, for her. Together
they waged a perfunctory battle against the
outrageous behavior of that place”

Magic Realism
“At times. At times I think she was--- more”
