Abstract

The Charles Chesnutt novel, The house behind the cedars, is the tale of a young woman of mixed race trying to make it in the antebellum South. She ultimately fails, dying mere months after an unsuccessful romance with a white man. Chesnutt's views on miscegenation can be discerned through the course of the novel. Being of mixed race himself, Chesnutt constructs Rena as a sympathetic character. Through his characters' thoughts and feelings, the author provides scathing commentary on the 'color line,' thus presenting his acceptance of interracial relationships into the story.
