mini research essay comparing Chopin's two short stories


In most Kate Chopin’s short stories, in the 1890s, she focuses on the lives of sensitive, intelligent women. The two short stories, “The Story of an Hour” and “Desiree’s Baby,” portray a genuinely situation in which men are a mainstay of families; females are under men’s control, their fates are decided. Marriage is assumed as a grave not an expected lovely life. The perspectives of Mrs. Mallard and Mrs. Valmonde claim that females stay at a low position. These two different short stories but reveal a same theme—freedom is a luxury for women.

  1. I think you need to clarify what women you are comparing--best to use Desiree and Mrs Mallard and to specify exactly how they are both similar and DIFFERENT
