- 1634: The Role Of Spirituality And R
- ... was his only support. At a very poignant time in Eliezer's life, we see the revival of a god. Although religion and God are no longer of significance, the familiar act of sending a prayer signifies the importance of reinforcing his values of commitment and loyalty to his father.

They would tease her and accuse her mother of being a witch, which we know is not true But what it shows is how Denver becomes isolated from the world during the years where friends are needed. I’m sure that at one point or another Denver told Sethe about what was happening at school, which pushed her more and more away from society. Something else that I noticed is that the public never had much interaction with the characters. Possibly this was the authors way of proving the theme ... in this novel Beloved. The theme can be seen in the isolation of Sethe and her inner self. It can also be seen with Denver and her separation from society because of the children at school. There is also the detachment of Sethe’s family from the rest of the world because of her past and what people think of the house and the family. Isolation can be a very ...
