Summary |
Dalara consoles her mistress before her execution. |
Commentary |
The descriptions in this story were very rich. The details
and the choice of words evoke many images for the
reader. Dalara and her mistress are shown to be women
who are both capable of emotion and carnal desires. I
think this is good because it shows the reader more than
one side of them. The descriptions of Dalara's mistress led me to believe that she is a woman of color, i.e. not Caucasian. I did not pick up on any hints as to Dalara's ethnicity. It was nice to see at least one character who was not white. It was also nice to see that it was not a major issue. Diversity enriches us all. This story definitely has some anti-male sentiment, but I did not take it personally. The male characters in this story deserve the ill will they receive. I would like to know more about how Dalara's mistress was feeling, before they got down to business. Maybe Dalara could make observations about her mistress without realizing what it is she is seeing; observations that are telling for the reader but meaningless for her. (Of course maybe she did, and they just went over my head.) |
