the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
