Analyzing with the Marxist Lens (Close Reading)

Whilst reading Beloved, I have seen many different types of discrimination that have been ever present throughout my read. The two that have stood out to me the most was in fact, race, as well as class discrimination. From what I have seen is that the main character, Sethe, is suffering from both types of discrimination in this passage, as I have read so far, many different aspects of these types of discrimination are just fairly blatantly present. The fact that Sethe is a former slave means that she is immediately poor and seems to have to work from dusk till dawn to get by day by day. Sethe's day does not even seem to end even at the end of the day with the constant chaos being caused around the house by spirit of her deceased child, Beloved. Sethe's past seems to constantly be around her, either in memories, or through physical existence like her daughters. For Sethe herself, she does not want to talk or reminisce about the past, only wanting to move on, except when this becomes harder for Sethe herself. This is a fairly large example of class struggle except to an extent that she cannot move up higher in society due to the color of her skin, with her location being stagnated against her. For Sethe, what she lives through is a constant struggle, with the only moments where she can manage to make a break is the small moments she has with her daughter Denver. From the perspective of a Marxist lens, this would be similar to the ideals of the proletariat, those that do not have much, but savor what they do have.
