Method # 1 to Sethe's Happiness

Sethe's major method to withdrawing her memory from reliving her hardships is through love. Sethe uses the strong love that she has for her daughter Denver to surpress her feelings of sadness and desperation. Love is something that is introduced to be able to cure anything. If Sethe did not have anyone to love, she probably would have never decided to take that risk in fleeing the plantation, which by doing so would promise her a free life.
