Armand after reading what he found, he stood there for a while in shock trying to comprehend what he had in his hand. As a lot runs through his heard from what he was going through, he didn’t know what to do next. The first thought that came in his head was to head out to look for Desiree and the child and his first destination was at Valmonde’s. He gets there in a rush looking for Desiree and the next thing he heard was that “Desiree is no more” said Valmonde. He turns back and was never found because he didn’t want people to find out how disappointed and embarrassed he was from what he had done to Desiree and the child.
She turned away like one stunned by a blow, and walked slowly towards the door,
hoping he would call her back.
“Good-bye, Armand,” she moaned.
He did not answer her. That was his last blow at fate.
This evidence from the text depicts how Armand didn’t care when she was leaving and how terrible he begin treating her and baby when he knew the baby was not white.

I think the race of the narrative matters a lot because the story about Desiree’s baby is a story that deals with the race of an individual and how shameful it was to not being white. The narrative did a great job with this story with having to be fair in her writing without having no bad perspective to any race. This narrative is a white person who is writing about such thing is a very sensitive thing to black race and she was very professional in her writing.
I find especially sad that Desiree’s life and her child ended due to a misunderstanding but feel like his retribution was coming from his practice of racism.
