However, she had fallen into a way of placing it so far in the future that it was almost equal to placing it over the boundaries of another life"(Freeman).]]> 2022-11-13 06:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381367994 s24600174 https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381369399 "Joe had made some extensive and quite magnificent alterations in his house. It was the old homestead; the newly-married couple would live there, for Joe could not desert his mother, who refused to leave her old home. So Louisa must leave hers. Every morning, rising and going about among her neat maidenly possessions, she felt as one looking her last upon the faces of dear friends. It was true that in a measure she could take them with her, but, robbed of their old environments, they would appear in such new guises that they would almost cease to be themselves. Then there were some peculiar features of her happy solitary life which she would probably be obliged to relinquish altogether. Sterner tasks than these graceful but half-needless ones would probably devolve upon her"(Freeman).

The main character Louisa is a representation of the author of the story, Mary, who's ambition for personal success is thrown off by female expectations to marry and rely on the husband (Glasser 40). The story makes an indirect push for women to go out and pursue their own ambition for success rather than sit back and wait for things to come to you. ]]> 2022-11-13 19:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381792739 s24600174 https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381837714 The story is centered around a woman who waits for her man to come home, only to learn that he loves another. Louisa had been stuck at home for fifteen years while Joe, her husband-to-be was gone making money. When Joe comes back, Louisa realizes she wasted fourteen years waiting for a man she wasn't even sure she wanted to marry. The expectation was that she would be subordinate to Joe, and the lead woman in the house would be Joe's mother, removing any freedom Louisa has over her life (Harris 35). ]]> 2022-11-13 21:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381837714 s24600174 https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381908739 Read through a feminist lens, "A New England Nun" is about a woman who is expected marry a man, and remove herself of any freedom to call her own and instead spend time caring and  supporting her family at home, essentially becoming a housemaid. Louisa, the main character, knows of the sacrifices she must make to herself if she is to proceed with the marriage, and fears she may lose her identity as a result from marriage (Harris 28).]]> 2022-11-13 23:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2381908739 s24600174 https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2383702116 2022-11-14 22:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600174/h5s8uxhpmw8dwyj2/wish/2383702116
