Children of the Sea

Posted on by Leakey

Hypothesis: In “Children of the Sea” by Edwidge Danticat, the tragic love story mirrors the historical context in
Haiti.
Try to outline how one would prove or disprove this hypothesis. Consider the following questions:
What is tragic about the love story?
What is the context of the short story?
Is the couple together? Why or why not? Does this symbolize a component of the historical context?
Is there a metaphor about love that could be a metaphor about Haiti as well?
So, is it possible that the love story mirrors a specific component of the historical context? What makes this
possible or impossible? What quotes, metaphors, or other aesthetic components of the text make it possible or
impossible?
