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.

Fixed mindset and Growth mindset.

‘Fixed mindset’ as the name suggests is a state where a person believes that his abilities are fixed traits and which be changed. ‘Growth mindset’ on the other hand is a state where a person believes that his abilities can be changed and amplified through hard work and commitment.

Consider the following demonstration: since childhood I had a fixed mindset that I won’t ever be able to speak in front of a group of people because of my fear of public speaking. Because of this, I avoided speaking in elocution competitions despite being good at writing.

Now consider the next stage when my fixed mindset traits changed: After years of struggle and realization, it hit me that anybody can speak if one is confident enough. This stage of my life was called growth mindset when I even started taking parts in elocution competitions and even won the first prize in almost all the competitions.

You see, when fixed mindset of ‘I can’t do this’ changes to a growth mindset of ‘everything is possible’ great things begin to happen.
