discussion post 1: Respond to the following questions. SPOILERS — Reading the questions may ruin some of the story for you, so wait until you’ve finished reading it. ;o}
Does Madame Valmondé know the truth about Désirée’s baby before Désirée herself does? Let’s look for evidence within the text. (Chopin offers plenty of clues.)
Midway through the short story, Chopin likens Armand to Satan: “And the very spirit of Satan seemed to suddenly take hold of him in his dealings with the slaves” (p. 2). Although this is a turning point in the story, there are hints of Armand’s darkness from the very beginning. Let’s identify these clues in the first couple pages of the story.
What are some themes in this story?
What do you think Chopin is saying about race in America?
Add any extra thoughts/ideas/insights that came to mind for you as you read this week’s text. Try to bring to the forefront something interesting that you’ve noticed about the story and that you’d like to share with me and your peers for further discussion.
