You do realize for centuries people who are good are always drawn as light and people who are evil are drawn dark. Even in Egyptian pictures the good kings (pharaohs) were of light colors it wasn't a way to say their skin was white but to show that they were a good ruler. But somehow it was warped through history that good is white skin tone but its indeed not. Evil people will always have dark colors because the hatred in their hearts that has consumed them. Again if you look back at the Egyptians why did people ever think that they were white if you look at the location it's in of course they wouldn't be white. So the colors that you do see on their skin has nothing to do what their actual skin tone was but by the person they were. (Sorry if it doesnt make sense I'm terrible at putting my thoughts to words)
Again to me this is a very forward thinking person he's literally telling you dont judge a book by its cover but now your doing the same thing with the fact her skin tone changes.
If you want to make it political I can if you want it to be about racism I can do that. But all i was doing was defending the symbolism of a story. Because i love literature and all the different meanings behin... NocturnalSols
