Question

whose letter was Armand reading in the end of the story


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Armand was reading the fragment of letter from his mother is confirmation, if not new insight. Earlier in the story, the narrator refers briefly to Armand's "dark, handsome face." When his son is born and develops, as he grows, a skin tone that is similar to one of the small "quadroon" boys who works in the house, it seems inconceivable that Armand doesn't consider that his own racial heritage could be the source. This is particularly evident when so many of the descriptions of Désirée emphasize her fair skin, gray eyes, and "golden gleam" in her silky brown hair.
