| Summary | "The Black Feather" by Mary Hartwell Catherwood is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of Mackinac Island during the fur-trading season, the story revolves around the colorful lives of the voyageurs and the complexities of their relationships. The narrative delves into themes of love, jealousy, and identity, particularly focusing on the tumultuous marriage between Charle' Charette, a proud voyageur who wears a black feather as a symbol of distinction, and his wife 'Tite Laboise. The plot centers on Charle' Charette's return after a long absence, expecting a joyous reunion with 'Tite; however, he is met with her unexpected coldness and aloofness. Amidst the backdrop of bustling fur trading and vibrant social gatherings, 'Tite is frustrated with Charle's pride in his accomplishments and the black feather that defines him. This leads to misunderstandings, jealousy, and a brawl that complicates their already strained relationship. Ultimately, through a moment of vulnerability, Charle' realizes that the feather, while a symbol of his prowess, has overshadowed the love and connection between him and 'Tite, bringing them to reconcile in a heartfelt moment that underscores the central theme of love overcoming pride.
