The short story Araby, written by James Joyce, primarily focuses on a coming of age tale through the works of a young boy, putting the reader in the shoes of the narrator and feeling the anticipation and excitement of striving for his first love. The young boy follows in pursuit of his first crush, expecting it, and the world, to be all that he had hoped for, but then realizes it falls short to his expectation.]]> 2016-11-17 16:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460429 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460540 coming of age story

In the short story "Araby", James Joyce demonstrates the other side of the typical coming of age story through the use of character development, setting, and theme]]> 2016-11-17 16:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460540 antran6117 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460573 Feminism is a word loosely used in modern day conversation, but was still being explored in the late 1800’s. The social construct of this time period cultivated many early feminist authors and their novels which dissect the unreasonable gender roles expected of women by the culture around them.The short story by Kate Chopin, “The Story of an Hour,” explores the entrapment of married women at the turn of the century by examining the experience of Louise Mallard upon hearing of her husband’s death. The perspective of each character helps illuminate the social and gender norms that caged women and “trained” them to bend to their husband’s will.

Authors use different characters to communicate different perspectives to shed light on their theme. Kate Chopin's feminist viewpoint is evident through the variety of characters introduced in her short story. when it came time to give Mrs. Mallard the news of her husband's death, her husband's friend, Richards, broke the news. he "had had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message," indicating that he had the ability to share this message with a women better than most. Rather than believe that Mrs. Mallard would have the ability to bear the news on her own, he believed the woman needed his assistance. While Josephine her sister assumes that her sister is not holding it together well, she visits her, in hopes of giving her a shoulder to cry on. She cries to her through the door, "Louise open the door! I beg; open the door- you will make yourself ill... for heaven's sake open the door." This indicates that from another woman, who follows the gender norms, it is normal for women to fall apart without their husband. Finally, there is Louise, who despite the other two characters' opinions about her reaction, feels a sense of relief at the news. She continuously whispers, "'Free! Body and soul free!'," which is striking in comparison to the other characters' responses. It demonstrates her wish for independence despite the social constraints of the time period. Chopin's brilliant use of both genders following the social norm in comparison with a woman who sees the world in a different light encompasses the feministic development occurring at the turn of the century.]]> 2016-11-17 16:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460573 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460817 Given the circumstances that she was left as a widow, along with her six children in 1882, Kate Chopin's driving force behind her popular short stories, are mainly characterised through the feminist lens. In the short story "The Story of an Hour" Kate Chopin's character Mrs. Louise Mallard steers away from the standard of men's empowerment. ]]> 2016-11-17 16:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138460817 emarlow https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138461019 In the late 1800's, the role of women was primarily in the home and they were seen as property of their husbands. The feminist short story " The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin, explores the effect of independence and freedom on women suppressed by social convention. This idea is conveyed through the main character, Louise Mallard's emotions and growth throughout the story. The setting helps to place the story in a society that is dominated by males and where women don't have much agency. 






Throughout the short story, the main character, Louise Mallard, undergoes significant development as she breaks the chains of social convention. From her husband's death, she finds joy and overwhelming happiness at the prospect of exercising her new found freedom. At the beginning, she is grieving at the news of her husband's death as "she wept at once, with a sudden, wild abandonment.." It was accepted and expected for the now widow wife to weep for her deceased husband and Louise Mallard follows the social norms expected in this situation. However, as she begins to process this news, she comes to the realization that the following years "would belong to her absolutely" and that she could be independent. This shows her breaking gender roles of the time as she did not want to rely on her husband and wanted to live a life based on her own decisions. Upon learning that her husband is alive, she dies "of joy that kills". This shows that she will do anything to keep her new freedom, even if it means to die. She cannot conform to her old ideas after even just a fleeting moment of independence.]]> 2016-11-17 16:19:36 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138461019 iandbas9317 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138747279 Throughout the story, the young boy shows the greatest development of mature characteristics and defines the theme of "coming of age" through his actions and his learned experience with love and eventual rejection. James Joyce is a young boy who is new to the concept of love, and his newfound love interest takes him to a new and exotic place that he has never seen before. This new and alluring love leads him to the bazaar where he sees new and wild people and goods.

James Joyce uses imagery to cleverly unveil the emotions of the young boy, through use of light and dark. The darkness of the alleyway, during the beginning and ending of the story, correlates with the loneliness and disappointment that the boy feels, whereas the lightness of the daytime in the middle of the story parallel with the spark of one's first crush. ]]> 2016-11-18 16:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138748909 zacpree6817 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138748921 Given the circumstances that she was left as a widow, along with her six children in 1882, Kate Chopin's driving force behind her popular short stories, are mainly characterised through the feminist lens. In the short story "The Story of an Hour" Kate Chopin's character,  Mrs. Louise Mallard, steers away from the standard implications of men's empowerment. By subtly expressing her emotions after having received the news of her "dead" husband, Mrs. Mallard goes through a series of developments on behalf of her character as a whole, and as the story continues the setting, and point of view,also greatly contribute to the stories central message. ]]> 2016-11-18 16:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138748921 zacpree6817 https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138752843 Throughout the story the audience is able to identify the unraveling nature of the character's development. As a result this helps create a focus on the personal interests which are found in the contrasting emotions of Mrs. Mallard and how over the course of the story she is able to realize the true essence of what her husband's death really means to her. For example, Chopin states that Mrs. Mallard realizes, "There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself." This shows how Louise openly accepted the grief that came with her husband's passing, but then looks forward to the long-lasting independence and freedom brought by the circumstance.]]> 2016-11-18 16:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/reese_pierce/dkam7k3xqcnd/wish/138752843
