Summary

Charles Chesnutt's "The Doll" is a story of seeking truth, facing discrimination, and making bold choices for the sake of one's own livelihood.
"The Doll", depicts the African American barber as a human character by showing him struggle with and simply show human thoughts and emotions. The story takes place during a time of huge racial prejudice, a time in which some people did not even consider African Americans to be human.
