Answer:

Snow be white could be her skin, and i think it's a negative comparison.

Explanation:

I'm thinking that maybe snow be white can be her skin, meaning her skin is is fair and white like snow, like snow white. Dun means a dull grayish brown color. So they could be saying , if her skin is fair and white like snow then why are her breasts such a dull color. It's most likely a negative comparison. I could be wrong but this is my take on it.

What probably motivates Mrs Hamilton to behave in such a manner toward the slaves
AnnyKZ [126]
If Mrs Hamilton is upper class she would see the slaves as peasants in a way. as I do not know what the slaves may look like, if they are black you could talk about racism and the fact that in the 1950s segregation was a huge issue. blacks were used to do chores for the whites. 
hope this helps in some way
