Desiree's Baby

Journal #2
Désirées Baby
Désirée is the adopted daughter of Monsieur and Madame Valmondé who are wealthy couple. As a baby, she was discovered by Monsieur Valmondé lying in the shadow of a stone pillar near the Valmondé gateway. She is courted by another wealthy, salubrious-known(a) and respected scion of a Creole family, Armand and eventu solitary(prenominal)y has a child. at long last they realize that the babys skin is the same color as a quadroon slave boyâ€"the baby is not white.
Because of Désirées unsung roots, Armand immediately assumes that she is part black although Désirée tries to cut through the accusation. Madame Valmondé suggests that Désirée and the baby return to the Valmondé estate. Armand, scornful with Désirée and no longer in love with her, insists on her going. Désirée then takes the child and walks off into a bayou, never to be seen again. Armand then proceeds to burn all of Désirées belongings, even the childs cradle, as well as all of the letter that she had sent him during their courtship.



With this bundle of letters is also one written from his mother to his father, revealing that Armand is, in fact, the one who is part black. 
I believe Désirée loved Armand and her son more than Armand ever tried to because she knew that he was a good man and he changed after he met her. However, the only true love she had was the love for her adoptive parents. The only true love throughout the story was Armands and Désirées parents. I also believe that racism and prejudice has come a long way since the 1700s, everyone is loosely accepted in the society. And through our constitution and amendments, everyone holds their rights. If you want to repulse a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
