Answer:
At the very end of the short story titled "Désirée's Baby," written by Kate Chopin, the author gives a primary example of situational irony when the reader finally discovers that Désirée's baby had darker skin not because of Désirée's heritage, but because of Armand's. Armand, however, had already known this fact, as shown in the last few lines of the short story. Désirée could have avoided all of the tragedy that befell her when her husband placed the blame for the baby's skin color upon her, if only Armand had admitted that he himself had a black heritage; however, because of the society in which they lived, Armand would have been far too stubborn and afraid to admit this because most people looked down upon those who were black--especially those who had black heritage due to their ancestors, as it was especially looked down upon for white people to couple with black people. In Armand's case, his own mother had dark skin, which is particularly ironic because Armand would not have been able to pretend not to have known his mother's skin color; this might have been the case had another of his ancestors, such as his grandparents or great-grandparents, were black, but because his own mother was dark-skinned, there is no way he could not have known that the baby's skin color was due to his own heritage.
