One, Jade, sees China as a beautiful and mysterious location, while the other, Michael, complains about its danger and lack of civility. The two are accompanied by a Chinese servant named Kin Cho, an Asian caricature who speaks in broken English and is characterized as having “a keen intelligent look.” When the group sees a jade lotus, Kin Cho warns the Englishmen that it’s the “soul spirit” of “God Chung.” Jade ignores him and picks the flower, which kills him, prompting Kin Cho to say, “Great god, he kill.” The play ends with describing a statue of the Buddha as “grotesque” and “sinister.” Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource literary magazines stage plays Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Dinwiddie, Louise.

When asked what's stopping her, though, she responds, "That's not who I am." The root of her desire to be "more American" and "white" is her shame toward being marginalized as Asian. She states that identity is "fluid, messy, and stained with trauma and pain." She finally decides that her American dream is to build her own.

Its title refers to the fictional central character, Nias, an enslaved black man who is characterized as an unintelligent, unhygenic, yet hard-working giant. The writer uses racial slurs to describe him as well. Nias notably attracts many black women wherever he goes, who fight over being able to sleep with him due to his size. He later performs manual labor for the Confederate Army, ultimately dying to save a white man's life.
