Who is Mlle Floridor?

Mlle Floridor is an actress at the theater that is built in the Cap. When M. Lenormand de Mézy's second wife dies, he begins attending the theater and seeing Mlle Floridor. She convinces him to go to Paris with her, leaving a relative in charge of the plantation. In Paris, M. Lenormand de Mézy is home sick and Mlle Floridor's acting is a failure. Disappointed, she accompanies M. Lenormand de Mézy back to his plantation, where she grows ill and older. Mlle Floridor beats her maids to take out her frustrations, and she conducts theatrical performances for the slaves, who don't understand what she's saying and believe she must be confessing to a life of sin and prostitution that she fled from to wind up in Santo Domingo. When the slaves revolt, Ti Noël goes upstairs to rape Mlle Floridor, since he lusted after her well-formed breasts during her performances. Later, M. Lenormand de Mézy finds her splayed on the floor of her room, killed with a sickle.
