In Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved," the character Beloved serves as an alter ego for Sethe by embodying Sethe's repressed memories and trauma from her past as a former slave. Beloved represents Sethe's guilt, pain, and unresolved emotions related to the infanticide she committed to protect her children from a life of slavery. Beloved's presence forces Sethe to confront her past and come to terms with her actions, ultimately leading to her healing and self-forgiveness.
