Jean Toomer “Becky”

The overall mood of this story is mysterious. I found it interesting how both the white and African American people shunned Becky. The setting of this story is also very important. Now interracial relationships are more common than they were when this story takes place. Because Becky was shunned, her sons obviously feel as if they have no place in society. It would have been interesting to know about her lover and what he is doing throughout the story.
