Summary

In a self-reflexive moment in the French play Cora, ou l’esclavage (1862) by Jules Barbier (1825–1901), a man, Curtis, smilingly interrogates his friend Georges Bessièrres about his romantic interest in the play’s eponymous character: “You have to admit that if that beautiful young lady did not have such white skin, you would be less interested in her” (Barbier 5). Georges responds: “It is possible. As just as it might be, a cause always profits from having beauty and grace on its side.”
