Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour
[ send me this paper ]
Freedom means many things to many people. In The Story of an Hour, by Kate Chopin, freedom is the sum and total of the thematic enterprise. The protagonist's deepest wish is for freedom and Chopin is able to embed both the desire and the attainment of freedom within her writing style through the use of recurring metaphors and symbols, as well as the story line. This 5 page paper argues that freedom from the social constraints of the conventions of gender role during the Victorian era are the first of the freedoms that Chopin addresses. The second is the freedom from the temporal world: death. No additional sources are listed.

6 pages in length. Powerful women are a rare breed. Such rarity is clearly depicted in three particularly outstanding stories: Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, Everyday Use by Alice Walker and The Widow of Ephesus. While each woman's strength is varied among these tales, they share a common thread of power felt from down within one's very being. It is about this strength and power that the writer describes these women as they are able to cope with extreme situations and make their lives more worthwhile. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Sexism in Anderson, James, Updike and Welty
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper that concludes: In these five stories, women are portrayed in various ways. Only Anderson's 'The Egg' continues to stress the inadequacy and calamity of women. James, Updike and Welty each present a twist on society's sexist view of women in the situations presented. Each writer provides redeeming qualities in their female characters, although the message is sometimes muddled in traditional constructs. In 'Daisy Miller,' James goes so far as to point out the error in those constructs, which is why the male character is named Winterbourne. The name itself infers that the man contributed to Daisy's death by not responding to his own perceptions incongruous with society's claims. His perceptions later proved to be accurate. Six sources cited.
