Forgetting Beloved

When reading that everyone slowly forgot Beloved, I was honestly kind of shocked. At first, I jumped to the interpretation that they forgot Beloved, but also forgot slavery and all of the other trauma that created her. However, I concluded that when people were forgetting Beloved, they are forgiving themselves for the things they did in those traumatic situations. When Sethe says Beloved was her best one, and Paul D claims Sethe is her own best one, Paul d is perhaps suggesting that Sethe should move on from all she has done wrong and focus on what she managed to really bring through the experience, which is herself.
