ESSAY ON: Chopin & Wharton/Reflections on Gender & Identity

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: A 7 page research paper in which the wrier argues that in Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening and also in Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, one finds the social paradigms of the Victorian era and how they were manifested in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. In both cases, the authors pictured protagonists who cannot adjust to the role that society dictates for them. Their own sense of identity conflicts with the strict gender roles of that era, leaving both women frustrated and feeling lost as to who – exactly – they are and where they fit into the cultural scheme. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
