Kate chopin

Ms. Chopin was not an well-known author in her time period of generation, because she was a controversial writer, whose writings were well known for women’s sexual desires and giving importance to a woman’s role and her views and wants of sexual desires. Her works “A Rose for Emily” and “The Story of an Hour”, both of the stories shares a lot of similarities in the settings of the stories, her main characters were females and focused on their desires, wants and needs of sexuality. But there are also differences in between the key roles, for instance, Ms. Emily was an unmarried woman who was looking for husband and happy life, whereas, Ms. Mallard was a married woman looking for happiness and expectations to be fulfilled by her husband. The short stories written by Ms. Chopin are more feministic, with emotions and feelings, love and affair relationships, her key characters are always seeking for satisfaction and happiness in their relationships. On the other hand, these two short stories reflects her life to some extent, as Ms. Chopin was grew up with her father in house from her childhood until she got married and lived rest of her married like with her husband, all her life she was woman who never went around the world to explore, but had passion in expressing herself through writing; similarly I observe in her short story “A rose for Emily”, the key character Emily was grew up with her father and was the only child born into a successful family who was homely. In addition, I have also observed that the story settings are in a house and rooms, both the key roles Ms. Emily, as well as Ms. Mallard are homely women who were in the houses all their lives, away from rest of the world.

These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.

Since, it was a controversial novel it became her last novel and she gave up on writing. Thus, that’s how the writing career of the great artistic author Kate. Chopin ended her use of talent. Later after her death, “The Awakening” was bought back into life 1970s as an early masterpiece of American realism and a superb rendering of female experience.
