Howells "Editha"

At first, I was reluctant to read it.
"Old" (Classic?) American literature, as my professor describes it, was full of racism, or colonialism, or discrimination in anything. Not things anyone is fond of, really. At least not if it's towards themselves, for some.
But "Editha" turned out to be a short story deeper that that.
I liked it. Maybe as a one-time read. But maybe when our Prof. deals with it, and tells us what we're supposed to be looking for, I'll change my mind.
I'm not sure whether I've missed the message he was trying to convey, or whether I didn't. If I did, I'm glad I did, it might've ruined it.
