“Because of the Thirty- mile woman Sixo was not the only one not paralyzed yearning for Sethe. nothing could be as good as the sex with her Paul D had been imagining off and on for twenty five years … looked at this way, minus the polished eyes, her face was not so attractive” (Morrison 30).
Like every dog they’ll want a new toy but once you give them the toy they use it up and look at it as if it was repulsive and wasn’t worth the chase. In other words this is what Paul D did with Sethe. After he chased her for twenty five years, pretended to be her protector as if he was her friend, and she finally put her hurt into his hands he satisfied his own needs and disposed of her in his memory. Paul D wanted to know what Halle had and had to test the waters, he wanted to see the hype about, why Sixo walked Thirty miles to see this woman they call “thirty-mile” woman and when his needs was satisfied he didn’t need her anymore and Sethe saw his doggish was after too. She knew that Paul D was more interested to see what was in the quality of the ears of corns and wanted to examine it. Rather than admitting she was a little hurt by this she has a flashback of what her mother, Baby Suggs, told her about men; “A man aint nothing but a man” and she was so right. Paul D appetite was fed and Sethe independence was lingering.
