As a black person, Irene Redfield loses the privileges of having a socially comfortable life, having a good economic condition, and quality education. In passing, women, and men had the same privileges, freedoms, and comforts of white society.

Who is Irene Redfield?

  • She is the protagonist of the novel "Passing."
  • She is a black woman.
  • She is a fair-skinned woman with European features.

Irene Redfield is aware that she is black, but her fair skin tone and European features allow her to pretend to be white. This allows her to be valued in society, to have access to all rights, advantages, and social freedoms, as well as to get rid of acts of racism and social violence.
