WEB DuBois' Notion of Double consciousness shaping the characters Bob from "If He Hollers Let Him Go" and Irene from "Passing"

In a 4-5 page paper answering the question - WEB DuBois' notion of double consciousness, "this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others" coupled with a "Longing...to merge his double self into a better and truer self" plays an important role for both Bob in "If He Hollers Let Him Go" and Irene in "Passing". Evaluate how double consciousness shapes these characters through careful examinations of each text. The essay should support a thesis that goes beyond simply restating the question and follow a unified structure. The body paragraphs must have clear topic sentences or transitional generalizations that develop one aspect of the thesis each. You should quote from the text extensively and cite at least one additional outside source when you will obviously include the text being discussed in the references.
