Résumé

Résumé : The narrative follows the life of Frado, a young mulatto girl, who is abandoned by her mother, Mag Smith, and left at the Bellmont household. Mag, having faced societal rejection and hardship, marries Jim, a kind-hearted African American man, but is left destitute after his death. Frado's life at the Bellmonts is marked by severe mistreatment, especially from Mrs. Bellmont and her daughter Mary, who view her as inferior due to her race. Despite the harsh conditions, Frado finds solace in the kindness of Mr. Bellmont, Jack, and Aunt Abby, who occasionally offer her comfort and support. Her life is a constant struggle between the oppressive environment of the Bellmont household and the small acts of kindness she receives from a few family members. The narrative also touches on the broader themes of racial prejudice and the societal challenges faced by African Americans during this period. Frado's resilience and spirit are highlighted as she navigates the complexities of her environment, seeking moments of joy and companionship, particularly with her dog, Fido. The story is a poignant exploration of the intersection of race, class, and gender, and the impact of these factors on the life of a young girl in a prejudiced society.
