Chopin

In the early 1890s, Kate Chopin, a white woman from the Deep South, wrote about racism. Because it is Chopin’s perspective, and she uses the name Negrillon in her novel, I believe race has a role in how it is written. Her work demonstrates her white privilege there too. The author appears to be fluent in French and knows what types of apparel are overpriced. Chopin demonstrates her education by explaining why her husband decided to burn her silk possessions and defining the shade ruby. When Armand discovered Desire wasn’t white, he changed the way he treated her, demonstrating that color has an impact on how people perceive you. Race is a touchy and difficult topic to discuss or write about. Race is a sensitive and tough topic to talk about or write about.
