She disapproves of it because she makes it seem like a stressful thing, even for people like Irene who aren't as risky as people like Clare.  People who pass constantly live in a lie, and it has consequences, like what happened in part three when Clare died. However, she seems to veiw it as a necessity in some situations.

Nella Larsen seems to disapprove of passing as a way of life, but believes that it is a necessity in certain situations.  Whenever a character passes in their life, integrating into white society, they eventually get burned and only have painful things to say about experiences that should be great, but when used in necessity is let go.  For example, when Clare and Irene are talking in her house and Clare talks about her pregnancy, Clare admits to having been worried sick the whole time about the child coming out dark skinned, while Irene didn't seem to care about the color of her children.  Clare's worry kept her from enjoying what most would consider to be a joyous time in her life, becoming a mother.  In contrast, when Irene passes as white in a fancy hotel so she can escape the heat which threatened to make her pass out, she has some worry she will be discovered and politely thrown out, but not enough to outweigh the relief of getting out of the heat.

Larsen seems to disapprove of passing. It seems that the moral of the story is that passing is dangerous. But it might be that she thinks its dangerous, but maybe only if you overuse your passing. Using it in small amounts seems to go pretty well for Irene in the story, but passing to create a whole new lifestyle for yourself like Clare does does not seem to go over well.

# data[].attributes.body
Larsen does not approve of Passing because Clare was a direct example of this and she killed her off. The story shows how Clare goes through her life passing. While the positives about passing such as how they can go into white only restaurants and hotel are mentioned, the story mainly talks about the disadvantages. Both Irene and Gertrude judge Clare harshly and try to explain to her all of the potential consequences of her actions. However Clare ignores this and does what she wants all leading to her dying for an "unknown" reason.

Passing only digs yourself into a hole the more and more of a lifestyle it becomes. There will be consequences and it will negatively affect you and all around you.

I think she disapproves passing because throughout the whole story she makes it clear how dangerous passing can be especially for Clare. Although Irene sometimes uses passing when she needs to, I think Larsen's message is to be truthful and to not use it for major parts of your life. By the end of the story Larsen makes it very clear that passing is not a good idea, and there will be consequences if you do. I think she is trying to scare people off, with the message that if you pass, it could lead to serious things like dying.

I don't think she approves of it because of the multiple examples she gives throughout the story of ways people get hurt using them. Clare used it and ended up dying so that is one way she shows she does not approve of it.

I think that Larsen views passing as very risky, but she seemed to get the point across that many black people do it all for various different reasons. I don't think that Larsen neither approves nor disapproves of it because all the female characters in the book "pass"

# data[].attributes.body
She doesn't approve of passing. Passing seems to be shown in a negative way by many characters, and Clare who is the main example of passing in the story has a bad ending

She does not like it when people pass because it hurts the people closest to the person who is passing.

I think Nella Larsen approves of Irene's passing but not Clare's way of passing.  Because

Nella Larsen does not approve of passing. Clare was passing for her own good without looking at the consequences, and in the end it cost her her life. Also, throughout the story Irene constantly says how passing shouldn't be used to take advantage of anything.

She doesn't think it's a good idea. Only bad things can result from passing. Irene is alive at the end of the book while Clare is not.

I think Larsen's message about "passing" is that in certain situations she approves of it, but I think overall disapproves of it because it can cause problems for example, what happened to Clare at the end of the story.

I think that Larsen's overall message about "passing" is she does not like it and disapproves of it because it is very risky.

Larsen disapproves of passing because the end of the story (Clare's death) is an example of an ultimate consequence of passing. Also, 'passing' effects Clare and everyone around her in a negative way. She believes that while 'passing' may have its advantages, at the end of the day it has an extreme negative effect.

She doesn't disapprove of it, but thinks that it should only be done to a certain extent. For example Irene passed but only when it was convenient and didn't try to hide her race. But Clare made passing her entire life and lied about her actual race and in the end was in a sticky situation which resulted in consequences. Since the author focuses on how passing for Irene was not that bad I think she agrees with passing to a small extent. With Clare, the author focuses on all of the harm that Clare goes through so I think she disapproves of passing when it starts getting someone in trouble.

I think that Larson's view on "Passing" is that she didn't approve of it. For example, Irene did not approve of it but Clare did. Also, since Clare fell out of the window, it shows that she does not approve of it or Clare wouldn't have fallen out of the window.

I think she does not approve of passing in the way that Clare is and thinks it can ruin and complicate lives. But I think the way of passing Irene uses she does approve of and believes it is not harmful to anyone. She showed both her opinions about passing through Clare and Irene and how completely different the two characters use passing. Clare uses it as her whole identity and lies about her real where Irene simply uses it for convience and to get into places black people are not allowed into.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that she does not approve of Clare's way of passing, because it is negatively portrayed throughout the story. I think she approves of Irene's passing because she was using it to have better opportunities. And Irene did not make it a lifestyle.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that she disapproves of "passing" so that is why Clare ends up dying at the end of the story. Almost like she got what she deserved.
