Answers
Explanation:
‘Blackout’ by Roger Mais is a short story that deals with the theme of conflict between two contradictory ideals of life– between class or colour discrimination and classless liberal ideal.
The story sets in a city on a West Indian island during the World War-II. At that time the American society was segregated with separate schools, buses and restaurants for the blacks and the whites races of people. In such a time an unnamed American woman went to a West Indian island where one night she was on the way to a bus stand. At the meantime a young man approached her and asked for a light, to lit his cigarette. This request caused some tension in her mind. Because she was a typical American woman with the consciousness of racism. She hesitated to give light to the black young man. Moreover, she had no matchbox with her. She was smoking but she had only lit one from the stub of the cigarette she had thrown away.
