   Beloved represents the love of a mother for her daughter, the horrible lengths a mother will go to prevent her daughter to be subjected to the even worse horrors of slavery, and she probably most importantly represents the ghost of slavery, the guilt that our culture, black and white, try to repress because it is, in fact, too awful to remember and accept.
