1. Is Daniel using Desiree or are they actually in love?
2. Why do you think the foreign dignitaries are so in love with Desiree, but her own people don't even respect her? What role does skin color play in how society views beauty in the Antilles?
3. Compare My Love, My Love's Madame Mathilde to the Nurse and/or Friar Lawrence from Romeo and Juliet, specifically focus on how she says this "love destroys you" and the Friar and Nurse's warnings on how Romeo and Juliet's love was fated to end badly.
4. When Desiree's outward appearance changes its reminiscent of Cinderella. Everyone begins to look at her now that she's beautiful. What role does this new found appreciation of Desiree's looks play in furthering Desiree's conviction that this is the gods' plan for her and that this is where she is meant to be?
