    "Desiree's Baby" by Kate Chopin: Feminism, Racism, & Love

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 17, 2023 23:39


    Today we discuss Chopin's "Desiree's Baby." If you haven't read the story/want to refresh your memory, you can access it here: https://americanliterature.com/author/kate-chopin/short-story/desirees-baby A couple points we missed:  Desiree's Baby is set in the Antebellum South: i.e. it's set before the civil war in the states that eventually secede. This means that the story serves as commentary and fuel to the growing fire of sectional tensions over slavery. If you want us to elaborate on this (and trust me, we'd love to), reach out with the links below! In class, this story was accompanied by another tale, "The Story of an Hour," which was much more focused on the role of women and wives. That may have been why the class discussion was so pigeonholed into feminism* To reach out:  Email: mokshareviews@gmail.com Voice message: anchor.fm/moksha-davaloor Pinterest: @mokshareviews Website: Mokshadavaloor.wordpress.com *We did not intend to imply that the class itself was racist or anti-feminist; we love our teacher and have many friends in that classroom. However, we also cannot ignore that systematic racism and indoctrinated racist mentalities are pervasive in our region. This may not have had anything to do with the thread of our class discussion; it was just an idea, but we apologize if it hurt any feelings.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moksha-davaloor/message

    When people say ‘you have to face your demons', they don't usually mean literally. Unfortunately for Nikolai Lantsov, his case is different. Still plagued by the demon the Darkling sent to possess him, he searches in vain for a cure. Zoya spent the first half of her life as a doll, a pretty girl who would make a pretty bride. She spent the next chapter of her life as a soldier, someone whose hard work paid off, who had risen in the ranks of the Darkling's army. Then, she spent her life as a loyal supporter of the Sun Summoner, ready to fight the Darkling, and all that he stood for. When the war ended, she found herself playing the part of a General, a leader, feared and revered. She has nothing to be afraid of. So why is she still scared?
