Chopin Support for Thesis Activity

Thesis #1: Chopin's use of a unique writing style shows that women of her time were possessed by a lover and it was not an easy task to be freed. Also, Chopin suggests that Mrs. Mallarad's death ultimately lead to her freedom from her lover whom she was possessed by.

Thesis #2: Chopin intentionally predicts a women's unique reaction to her husband's death and then his return later on. Chopin purposefully does this because Mrs. Mallard and her husband did not have a very conversation filled marriage. So, it was Chopin's way of proving her point that women feel like they are stuck in a relationship and do know how to somehow get out or make it better.


Dawn's Comments: You have some excellent observations here. However, to adequately support a thesis, you need to cite examples of the author's use of literary elements from the text and then explain how this use creates the meaning suggested in the thesis.
