When reading the duality between Desiree and the community of villagers on page 60, I found that Desiree was so fixed on the idea of love. This blinded her and caused her to be oblivious to the situation at hand.  Monsieur Bienconnu tells Desiree that he doesn't love you and how fate won't allow you too to be together. Fate, seems to always follow Desiree like a shadow one that you can't shake. Her name means destiny and in the one she has, there is no love for that man in it. But, I don't believe in that I think you can be able to change your destiny. To free yourself from the imaginary strings pulling you in whatever direction they want you in.  However, after the duality between the two it left Desiree confused and wondering about her fate and what it entail for her. As she walks back she passed the villagers and felt as if she couldn't move. Getting slower and slower with each step. This is from the relationship that she has with the village and how they don't care about what she wants. Her opinion doesn't matter to them. This is what I think happened when re-reading the duality between the two.
