Interracial Relationships. Racism played a major role in United States history.In the short story “Désirée’s Baby”, Chopin tells a story about a white family having a black child. The father thinks the wife has black ancestry when it's really him with it. He cares more of what society thinks of him rather than his family. The things that racism caused in this world were horrible and i am strongly against it.Every human being in this world is made up of the same exact thing. Our personality shows our true color, not our skin complexion. In “Désirée’s Baby”, The parents of the black child are white complexed. The couple decide to have a child. The weird thing about this odd toddler is that his skin complexion is black. Many conflicts arose from …show more content…

If you had a bad reputation, then yes, it's understandable to be treated unfairly. But if somebody is innocent and you get treated unfairly, that's different. This is what made everything bad in that era. If somebody were to see skeletons of a black person and a white person, he/she wouldn't be able to tell to whom each skeleton belongs to. We act how we want. We don't act a certain way because of skin complexion. People apparently didn't know that we all have white bones. Many people appear to be white but are actually black. For example, Mariah Carey. She looks all out white when she's mostly black. Now this is what i do not understand. If Mariah Carey sang back then, would people have admired her like they do now? I do not understand what would make her different if she went back to the setting of the short story. Mariah Carey said on Ebony magazine in 1995, “ I consider myself mostly black even though i'm part venezuelan and Irish too.”. You can never assume somebodies ethnicity based on looks. Many people appear on what they are not to

    There could have been multiple possibilities of why the baby was not “White,” but due to Armand’s first intuition that Désirée was not white, he is showing that he has authority of the situation and that what he says goes. Because the husband and wife in both stories allow this particular type of destructive relationship, where the wife is submissive and the husband treats his wife like his own property, both stories progressively deteriorate by the

  • Segregation In Longtown's History

    In Longtown, Ohio there is a small town where white and black people for nearly 200 years. I was amazed by this because 200 years ago anywhere else there was segregation against the blacks and they didn’t have the freedom they would have had if they lived in this certain town, I also wondered why they let the two races mix freely. Though now Longtown’s history is fading away because there are biracial relationships and people are forgetting that it doesn’t matter what color you are we are all the same. So the founder of Longtown’s great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson Connor Keiser is trying to keep that history alive.

  • Desiree's Baby Argumentative Essay

    570 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the short story “Desiree’s Baby” by Kate Chopin, A woman named Desiree supposedly takes the life of herself and her child after “discovering” that she is biracial, and that her child is also of mixed race. Although, in the end of the story, we discover that the baby’s father, Armand, is really the biracial parent, it still seems logical to remember the story as if Desiree were biracial, since that is what both she and Armand believed, up until the very end. Many believe that Desiree’s decision to kill herself and her child was justified, because of the shame and ridicule that would come to the child, and the fact that she herself believed that neither her nor the child would have a happy future. Many believe that Desiree’s actions were justified because of the few options she seemed to have at the time, and the fact that all she could think about was how shameful she felt for being biracial, and

  • Epiphany In Desiree's Baby

    1433 Words  | 6 Pages

    At the end of the story as he is divesting himself of Desiree’s belongings, he comes across a letter from his own deceased mother which reads,” night and day, I than good God for having arranged our lives that our dear Armand will never know that his mother, who adores him, belongs to the race that is cursed with the brand of slavery” (Chopin), which brings him to his epiphany. The fact that he did not know could be because of his parents’ choice to raise him abroad where the stigma of slavery did not exist. Maybe she was light skinned enough that she could pass for a white woman. We may never know how this accomplishment was carried out, but it is evident that Armand now knew, that although his son was bi-racial, it was his lineage, not Desiree’s, at fault.

    During the era in which this short story was written, southern authors had a major influence on the way the culture was going to grow with racism, and also the way people loved each other.

In “Desiree’s Baby,” the author, Kate Chopin, provides an illustration of conditional love exemplified by the character, Armand, towards his wife and child; furthermore, Chopin provides instances of irony, elements of surprise, foreshadowing, and symbolism to prove that Armand’s love for both of them was not the unconditional love typically felt and portrayed by women, such as Desiree, during this era.
