The Beloved's Prophetic Healer In her novel Beloved, Toni Morrison creates the character Amy Denver to serve as a prophetic healer. Amy speaks directly to Jesus, recites prophetic wisdom, and possesses strange abilities to create good. Amy Denver was sent by a higher power to ensure that Sethe achieved her well-deserved freedom; their meeting was anything but casual. We are introduced to Amy Denver indirectly through Beloved's curiosity. Perhaps Beloved wants to know how this happy-go-lucky individual came to be. After all, Denver also felt a strangeness about her birth that made her feel, "as if a bill was owed somewhere... But who she owed or what to pay it with eluded her." (77) The mysteries of life do this. Suddenly the book takes us to the Kentucky forest camp where Sethe is not only tired, scared and lost, but also completely alone. In times like these we feel an intense need for human contact. If and when we are saved by a simple voice and are willing to reach out, it seems that our faith in humanity and life is alive. “Come here, Jesus,” Amy calmly tells Sethe. Let's not forget the circumstances Sethe finds herself in. These are the words he wants, indeed deserves to hear. But more importantly, why does Amy call Sethe such a divine name? Sure, one could theorize that Sethe acts like Jesus in “Beloved,” but we'll save that for someone else. However, one should not lose sight of the fact that Amy sees Sethe. By this I mean that Amy deeply senses a gentle soul that contains struggle, pain, hope, and goodness. Furthermore, Amy also creates "Lu"... in the center of the card... a creation that will be called Denver. In the Bible every passage of creation ends with the phrase: "And God saw that it was good." In much the same way Morrison admits in “Beloved” that both Amy and Sethe created, “appropriately and well.” He alludes to this ending of the Bible by respecting the literal verse. The character of Amy Denver was created to act as a prophet in Sethe and Denver's freedom and creation. Together, all three are not just ordinary people with whom Amy can speak prophetically and create nature's help as nature adapts to her needs. She speaks the truth, while gently healing both physical and mental wounds. In short, he is one of those people who we see and cannot take his eyes off even Sethe, who follows his movements and trusts an Anglo-Saxon human being for the first time.
