Please Answer in order and number each answer 1-10 In “Désirée’s Baby” when Armand believes his wife to be of color, it says, “He thought Almighty God had dealt cruelly and unjustly with him; and felt, somehow, that he was paying Him back in kind when he stabbed thus into his wife’s soul” (Chopin 442).  Why might he think that God was being unjust to him, especially considering the time this story was written? What makes you think this? Based on the passage “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. It was at first too subtle to grasp. It had only been a disquieting suggestion; an air of mystery among the blacks; unexpected visits from far-off neighbors who could hardly account for their coming” (Chopin 442).

What does the thunderstorm represent in “The Storm” and where are the parallels (Chopin 455)? What are the issues of gender and social class in “The Storm”? How are they different for Alcée and Calixtra (Chopin 455)? What is significant about what the father and son do for Calixtra in the beginning of the story (Chopin 455)? What is Clarisse’s Role in “At the Cadian Ball”? What makes her attracted to Alcée (Chopin 448)? Why does Clarisse go to the ball? How does she feel when Alcée does (Chopin 448)?
