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.
