Why Is Desiree's Baby Wrong
In “Desiree’s Baby” by Kate Chopin, the character Desiree--who is carrying her child--purposely walks into the swamp and never returns. Although she wanted to keep her and her baby safe and not have an unhappy future, Desiree’s decision to walk into the swamp is wrong because suicide is never the answer, murder is wrong, and she had other options.

In “ Desiree’s Baby” Desiree decided it would be easier to walk into a swamp and kill herself rather than live. This is wrong because she hurt her family and she could have became happy again if she didn't kill herself. In the passage it says,” My own Desiree: Come home to Valmonde; back to your mother who loves you.” This shows how much her family cared and loved for her that they'd still love her even if she was biracial. This also shows how hurt they were when they heard that she had committed suicide because they loved her so much. If she would have went back to Valmonde she could have lived a happy life.

When Desiree walked into the swamp she was holding her baby and taking it with her. In the passage it

She had so many other options and they all would have ended up with her being happy. The Valmondes treated desiree like a gift from god. Desiree could have went back home ,or she could have moved to the north ,or France because there is no segregation in France or up north. She also could have just moved out and lived alone with her baby if she had to.

Although some people think it was right for Desiree to kill herself and the baby because she might not have been happy. These people are wrong because suicided is always the last option. She had many other options and places that she could have gone to be happy. She also was in the wrong because it is against the law to murder people.

Desiree’s decision was wrong because suicide is never the answer, murder is wrong, and she had other options. Suicide and murder is and will always be the wrong thing to

    Desiree's Baby Analysis

    Happiness was soon crushed by darkness “When the baby was about three months old, Désirée awoke one day to the conviction that there was something in the air menacing her peace” (243), and when this was said you can really picture a shadowed figure in the corner of her house bringing darkness about the house. Désirée’s happiness was not crushed just with the baby, but with her husband as well “Her husband had been acting like Satan had taken a hold of him” (243), this tells us that the presence in her house had changed her husband from the kind-hearted man she once knew to a darker person she hoped he would never become. Désirée almost seemed to have given up on her jubilation with her family “The blood turned like ice in her veins, and a clammy moister gathered upon her face” (243), this shows that Désirée grew scared of the darkness that was in her house changing the people she loved and cherished the…

    In the era Chopin wrote "Desiree's Baby" sexism was a major point in the lives of women, permitting them from being able to speak for themselves. Chopin later reveals that Armand was the one who truly was of black dissent and he was the one who had passed those genes down to the baby. But Desiree who has all the right in the world to defend herself cannot simply because of her sex. She is accused of the "unconscious injury she had brought upon [Armand's] home and his name"(244). Although Chopin states that Desiree is whiter than Armand and the baby, because of the setting of the story she cannot defend her honor in saying she isn’t black. Peel writes that, "Desiree is immersed in her husband's value system and never stands up to [Armand], not…

    The reader can start to feel this child like attitude Desiree has in the beginning when Madame Valmonde thought that “it seem[ed] but yesterday that Desiree was little more than a baby herself”(Chopin 1). This sentence foreshadow and hints at Desiree's thoughts and actions being based on what others think of her. One example of this is how she lets Armand decide her happiness. In the story it states, “when he frowned she trembled, but loved him. When he smiled, she asked no greater blessing of God” (Chopin 1). As it says in the quote Desiree based her joy on Armands actions and feelings. This relates to the end of the book when she leaves the town and is never being seen again leading the reader to believe she died or went into hiding; Desiree possibly killed her and the baby because Armand assumed and she could not live with others thinking badly of her. Another example of this is when she writes her mom asking her to deny that she was black but when her mother wrote back saying, "My own Desiree: Come home to Valmonde; back to your mother who loves you. Come with your child” (Chopin 2). Which shows that Madame Valmonde also thought that Desiree was black. The reader can infer that because of two people's assumption that she was black, Desiree started to feel low in worth leading her to possibly kill herself. These examples in the story show that Desiree was dependent on others inside of being self…

    Kate Chopin's "Desiree's Baby" is a timeless portrayal of one woman's startling descent into hysteria and the societal pressures that bring on rapid and uninhibited panic. Desiree unknowingly becomes the victim of her husband's hierarchical cover-up- he puts the blame for the child's condemned skin color on Desiree when he is in fact of black descent. This forceful allegation, compounded with other accusations of not being white that presumably take place outside of the home, in effect drive Desiree and her fragile soul six feet under.…

    In the story of “Desiree’s baby”, there are discriminations lead to Desiree’s death which are racism and gender discrimination. In 17th century, women had low status and they cannot get enough respect. Story told “‘Good-by, Armand’, she moaned. He did not answer her. That was his last blow at fate.”(Kate Chopin 6) This sentence shows the indifferent attitude of Desiree’s husband, which is a pervasive social problem. Desiree’ husband found out that their baby was not white and he asked Desiree to leave. Desiree could not revolt, though her husband used cold violence treatment to her. Desiree still could not do anything to refute. That means at that time woman had really low status in the society. When they met unfair treatment they had nothing to do but be silent. Besides that, there is another essential factor which is racial discrimination. The period background of the story is 17 century, black in America suffered maltreatment from their white owner. Obviously, miscegenation could not be accepted by the public. When Armand found his baby was not white, it’s symbolized the disaster and death of Desiree and her baby. As the story told “My mother, they tell me I am not white. Armand has told me I am not white. For God 's sake tell them it is not true. You must know it is not true. I shall die. I must die. I cannot be so unhappy, and live.”(5) That is the hopeless accuse of Desiree to Armand, to the society and Louisiana of 17century America. When the plot developed to climax, an unexpected turning appeared. “Night and day, I thank the good God for having so arranged our lives that our dear Armand will never know that his mother, who adores him, belongs to the race that is cursed with the brand of slavery.” (7) In fact, Her husband had black blood relationship, but Desiree beard this for him alone. If Desiree had black…

    The boy in this chapter is a target in Haiti for speaking out against the government and new regime. During his escape to Miami he feel like he was meant to die in the sea because all hope of making it to the United States is lost because of the boats terrible condition: “ Perhaps I was chosen from the beginning of time to live there with Agwe at the bottom of the sea. Maybe this is why I dreamed of the starfish and the mermaids having the Catholic Mass under the sea”(24). The Haitian government can’t provide quality boats to ensure that its citizens successfully reach the United States’ coastline. Attempting to escape in a boat that is prone to holes and continuously sinking is unfortunate and the boy starts to realize that the sea is the only way free himself of the target on his back since the option of reaching the U.S is no longer viable.

Celianne is a woman in that made her living off of prostitution and while on duty got pregnant. She then became an outcast which is displayed by the cuts on her face so she would be unrecognizable in public. Unfortunately, her baby lasted no longer than a few moments in this…
