The Womans Rose, The Necklace, and The Story of an Hour...

The Womans Rose, The Necklace, and The Story of an Hour In this essay I will be comparing ‘The Woman’s Rose’ By Olive Schreiner, ‘The Story Of An Hour’ By Kate Chopin and ‘The Necklace’ By Guy De Maupassant. Each of these stories arte set in the patriarchal 19th century and all of them have the hint of women fighting for freedom, for example in ‘The Story Of An Hour’, Mrs Mallard didn’t feel free until the death of her husband, Mr Mallard; ‘said it over and over under her breath: â€Å"free, free, free!† Women didn’t really have a view in the 19th century; they were low status and were thought not to have a opinion. I think that the men thought that women were pretty objects, just there to look attractive, have children, and if†¦show more content†¦When she got all the compliments from the men, she loved it, she loved being pursued and being called beautiful and a woman. The pretty seventeen year old girl and the woman met at the party and the girl felt as if all her wishes had come true by actually talking to the woman. Olive Schreiner narrates the story so it seems as if she is actually the woman, which gives the more personal effect. The woman in ‘The necklace’, Madame Loisel wanted to be the upper class women that she never was. She seemed to have the upper hand over her husband, Monsieur Loisel. ‘She looked at him irritably and said shortly â€Å"And what am I supposed to wear if I do go?†Ã¢â‚¬â„¢ Monsieur Loisel thought that she would be happy by getting the invite to the party, but Madame Loisel seemed that nothing would please her no matter what her husband did for her she was never happy. She manipulated her husband and she was greedy. It seems that she never loved her husband she just married him as she thought that she wouldn’t be able to marry an upper class man, and jus accepted the offer of a clerk. All three writers use symbolism in their stories, which is fairly important as symbolism affect the women in the stories. In ‘The Women’s Rose’ the girl had hoped that spring would come. Spring gives us the sense of happiness, romance, flowers and friendship. The word ‘Spring’ was also used in the story on an hour By Kate Chopin. Mrs Mallard got excited and stated thinking about springShow MoreRelatedThe Evolution of American Womens Fashion5319 Words   |  22 Pagesout over the centuries? Most historians in this area agree that the change and progression in womens fashion can be credited to outside forces such as the present political conditions or beliefs among the societies in which these women take part in.
