Désirée’s Baby by Kate Chopin (1892) de Ana María Sánchez Mosquera

  1. Kate O´Flaherty (Chopin) wrote about social ,racial and gender issues. Sometimes her female characters had a tragic ending ( "The awakening") above all , when they chose to be free, independent and tried to break with rules. That´s not the case of our dearest Desirée. She is rejected, despised by the "dark" Armand and obliged to leave the farm. Not in a luxurious carriage , not even through the broad sunlit plantation where the slaves are picking cotton.No , the "deep , sluggish bayou". That´s how she feels ,how she is made to feel . ..However, she goes back with Mom.Home.
