It’s interesting because it’s seems like Ondine and Sydney wanted jadine to care about her blackness but they raised her away from it. She has zero connection to her community. For me, as a reader I respect her independence and her ability to go against traditional values but also her shunning community is so individualistic and the problem with the world.

Just thought about it Jadine doesn’t have a connection to her community because she has no community cause she’s an orphan. Ah. It’s the way Toni Morrisons mind works. I also can’t stand that Son is the only one that calls the domestic workers their actual names. They have names. Use them.

Jadine is pompous and uppity but that Son is dreadful.
