Is Sethe wrong?


Do you understand Sethe’s impulse and sympathize with her, or do you see her infanticide as an inexcusable action?  If you can possibly put yourself in her place and imagine the horrors of slavery, what would you do when schoolteacher comes riding up to take you and your children back to Kentucky? What could Paul D. possibly have in mind when he told Sethe that there was another way for her to avoid slavery with Schoolteacher?
