A Formalist Look at Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”, 1894
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper that studies Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” from a formalist perspective. Writer Kate Chopin (1851-1904) wrote during the time of naturalism which was considered as a “literature of manly men”. However, critics argue that a purely masculine approach to naturalism and the reality of the 19th century ignores “one of the most fascinating aspects of this work: its ongoing concern with women’s relationship to modernity”. A formalist approach to Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” incorporates all of the traditional analytical and formal procedures dealing with the work such as the structure, relationship between the parts, narration, characters, setting and language. Instead of being merely analytical however, readers of Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” understand Burke’s definition of form as “the arousing of fulfillment of desires” which stresses the “realistic rather than an idealistic basis for form”. Within the work, Chopin also attends to the aspects used within the “American short story” genre which was becoming popular in the 19th century. “The Story of an Hour” not only develops the “practical applications of the notion that the nineteenth-century short story was a generic locale where authors attempted to construct ideological and literary boundaries out of opposing impulses” but the story itself tells of the “imposing impulses” faced by all women at the time, including women writers such as Chopin.

A Respectable Woman and A Jury of Her Peers: A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
5
pages. In comparing the two short stories, A Respectable Woman,
by Kate Chopin, and Susan Glaspell's A Jury of Her Peers, there
is a common thread running through them which is that of the
instinctive motivations of women's self-preservation against
societal judgements. Indeed, both stories support this thesis
strongly; Chopin's protagonist, Mrs. Bardoa, instinctively
protecting herself against being judged of having an affair with
her husband's best friend, and that of Glaspell's protagonists,
Mrs. Hale and Mrs Peters, protecting the neighbor whom they did
not know well, Mrs. Wright, from certain conviction of murder.
Bibliography lists 2 sources.
