Chopin & Chekhov/19th Century Women
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that examines two portrayals of nineteenth century women. The writer argues that Anton Chekhov in his short story "The Lady with the Dog" and Kate Chopin in her short story "The Story of an Hour" each portray women who are caught up within the restrictive social customs of their time. Both portrayals point to the frustration that women of this era felt toward social expectations that did not consider the female sex to be fully competent adults. No additional sources cited.

Chopin & Wharton/Reflections on Gender & Identity
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper in which the wrier argues that in Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening and also in Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, one finds the social paradigms of the Victorian era and how they were manifested in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. In both cases, the authors pictured protagonists who cannot adjust to the role that society dictates for them. Their own sense of identity conflicts with the strict gender roles of that era, leaving both women frustrated and feeling lost as to who – exactly – they are and where they fit into the cultural scheme. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Chopin and Churchill/On Motherhood
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares Kate Chopin's The Awakening, published in 1899, and Caryl Churchill's Top Girls, first performed in 1982. The writer argues that these works represent feminist literature separated by close to a century of world events and feminist progress. However, the concerns of these authors are still very similar. They each emphasize the conflicts inherent in women's lives due to the restrictions imposed by society and by motherhood. In each case, the author highlights how society, as defined by men, necessarily impacts the relationship between mothers and their children. Social context and expectations, childbirth and maternal instinct are addressed by both Chopin and Churchill and shown to be part of the same interconnected web, which serves to influence how women react to motherhood in each work. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
