The next four chapters are probably the most difficult in the entire book. The three stream-of-consciousness monologs (Sethe's, Denver's, Beloved's) are followed by a lyrical chapter in which all three voices intermingle. In a famous phrase, Morrison calls them "unspeakable thoughts, unspoken" (235). How are the four chapters linked with the motif of "mine," which reflects their strong love, their desperate need, and a dangerous desire to possess the other person?
