One object that revealed the ending of the story was when the author talks about Armand’s skin. Although Armand had a last name and had a blood relative, it still gave multiple signs. For example, he never knew his mother. There were no pictures of his mother and all he knew was she died when he was younger. It also states that Armand and his father moved from Paris. During this period of time, slavery was illegal in Paris. In other words, he could have had a darker mother. Not only that, but Desiree even compares her skin with his and says he is darker than her. In conclusion, we should have already known Armand was the one biracial because of his skin told it all.
