Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin focuses on the three subjects of marriage, prejudice and racism, exposing inequalities and female subjugation before the Civil war in Louisiana.
After Desiree’s marriage with a young aristocrat, Armand Aubigny, she hopes to find her real home with him and giving birth to a baby boy, Armand was happy. Later the boy started showing the negroid features, being bi-racial. Desiree started panting, clutching his arms to which Armand replied, “it means that the child is not white; it means that you are not white” and asks Desiree to leave with the baby. Later it takes a turning point when Armand discovers that he too had the black ancestry.
Such actions describe Armand as being prejudiced towards her ‘race’. Being prejudiced he denied the parental responsibility and asks Desiree to leave with the child as the child is bi-racial.
During that time no aristocratic family would accept any bi-racial daughter in law or grand-child. The social norms during that time exposed the subjugation of women and inequalities of prejudice.

1. D: the Bishop is kind and caring and even though ValJean is an ex-convict he is still treated like a human being by the Bishop. Calling him 'brother' further shows how he views all people as equals.
2. D: you would expect ValJean to be grateful for the kindness the Bishop shows him and to accept the food and lodging without causing trouble. ValJean is a former criminal but the Bishop trusted him to not steal what he had. ValJean showed the opposite of these expectations by stealing from the Bishop.
3. C: the Bishop welcomes ValJean into his home and treats him like a real human being. The irony is that as soon as someone treats him like a normal person ValJean starts "stuttering like a madman", acting the way everyone before had assumed he would be (crazy).
