Beloved isn't a linear tale told from begining to the end,it's astory including level of past,from slaves ship to Sweet Home,as well as the present Sometimes the past is told in flashbacks,sometimes in stories.
Flashback is a literary device used to presnt the action that occured before the begining of the story. In beloved,the narrator structures the story in such away that past events are related as away of explaining the present.For instane,in the first paragraph the narrotor said that"By 1873 ,Sethe and here daughter were only victims" this set the main action in 1873 but the paragraph that follow explain how Babysuggs and the two boys escaped the ghost prior to the date.
Flashback also is represented as memories of several characters,for instance when Paul D and Sethe spend their time together they remember moments of their previous time.
There is adirect style of flashback,when the past events are related directly without any present comments from the person telling or remeber the talle,called stream of consciouness.
It is a style of writing in which the thoughts appeared as they might run through his or her mind.For example when Beloved first hear the story of Denever's birth.
