This research paper: A 3 page essay that examines Chopin's nineteenth century short story. Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" (1894) is one of the most anthologized short stories in American literature and numerous students have "grappled" with the story's implications as to gender in nineteenth century American society (Deneau 210). Modern readers debate as whether Louise, Chopin's protagonist, is "a normal, understandable, sympathetic women" or if is she "an egocentric, selfish monster or anomaly" (Deneau 210). This question cannot be reasonably considered outside the restrictive gender stereotyping of that era. When the modern reader understands the nature of Victorian society from a woman's standpoint, it becomes possible to see that Louise is not a monster. She loves her husband, but just as one can be fond of one's jailer, it is nevertheless pleasant to be let out of jail. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
