The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman Summary Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of The Marriage of Opposites


Themes

Moms are real bitches: Rachel thought her Mom was a real bitch because she didn't approve of Rachel's life choices and Camille thought Rachel was a real bitch for the same reason. Sometimes Moms can be real bitches.

 

Jews are not always one big happy family. The Jewish community was in conflict with Rachel because of who she was spreading her legs for. They fought for years over it.

 

Moms don't like it when their kids go homo. Rachel is very upset when Camille shows homo tendencies, being an artist and spending time with Melbye.

 

Black people don't know they are black. True. In this story Aaron and Lyddie don't realize they are half black. They must think their dark skin is due to excessive sun tanning.
