How do I write a thesis for Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour"? "

Question

anonymous · Answer

Prompt: 'The Victorian world in which Kate Chopin lives and wrote was one of strong social restraints. The rules and expectations of marriage, the exaltation of romantic love, and the dominance of the husband over the wife prevented many Victorian women from viewing their circumstances honestly. Write an essay in which you argue that Mrs. Mallard in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” is- or is not- a victim of Victorian attitudes toward marriage. Support your argument with evidence from Mrs. Mallard’s thoughts in the aftermath of her husband’s presumed death.'
