The "style" section of the enotes study guide on Hughes' play "Mulatto" identifies three things that might help to answer your question: setting, language, and foreshadowing. The setting is relevant because the story takes place in the American South. Slavery has ended (there are automobiles in the play, for example), but the strict racial hierarchies are still firmly in place. The plantation owner is white, his mistress is black, and their...

In Hughes' play, Cora is a black housekeeper who has a number of children with Colonel Tom Norwood, who is her employer and the owner of the plantation.

Realism can be defined in a number of different ways, and your answer to this question will depend on your particular defintion.

Dee is the oldest daughter in "Everyday Use." Robert is the youngest son in Mulatto. Both Dee and Robert struggle with a sense of identity. Dee, who grew up very poor and who resented this, was able to go to "the big city" and go to college. Even though she was angry and ashamed of her background growing up, once she became "educated," she wanted to go back to her African roots and change her name to cast...
