The basic plot of the story is about a the maid’s daughter, Rosaura, who goes to a party were she is used as a servant rather than just being a friend of the rich daughter. The author writes this story through the perspective of the maid’s daughter and shows the differences between classes at the birthday party without the daughter realizing it. The class difference between the little girl Rosaura, is shown through symbolism between her and the magician’s monkey at the birthday party. Much like the monkey, Rosaura is separated from the rest of the people at the party because she is not as wealthy and she is only the “maid’s daughter.” Rosaura refuses to believe this at the beginning of the story and throughout the party. Rosaura finally realizes that she can not break through the classes when the truth is handed out to her by Luciana’s mother at the end of the story.
