IMPLIED ATTITUDES IN THE WORK OF KATE CHOPIN

"The Story of an Hour" and "The Storm" are two greatly appreciated pieces of work 
written by Kate Chopin. The two stories differentiate in attitude toward marriage and
its
outstanding outcomes. The writer, Kate Chopin, shares many opinions on how marriage may 
one's life ; this includes a controlling marriage, a doubtful marriage, and a loving
marriage.
Living life in a marriage of control allows one-self to be extremely indulged in 
self-torment. No person can appreciate marriage in which one can not enjoy what it has to
offer. 
In "The Story of an Hour," Mrs. Mallard's marriage was assumed to be a controlled one, as

when her husband was gone, she felt more joy then ever before. This type of marriage is 
frowned upon by many.
When one has doubt in a marriage, it can most likely come from saddened trust within 
the relationship. This can start from the very beginning in a relationship and never end,
due to
both participants of the marriage being frightened to speak of their trust, as it might
destroy the
relationship. Neither of Chopin's stories display this type of marriage, but it is
frequent in 
reality.
Some may say living life in a loving marriage is one of the most substantial parts of
life. 
As seen in "The Storm," when the relationship of the two, supposedly living in
nine-teenth 
century France, use their love for eachother to derive the evil consuming and plagueing
their
town and drowning their fears. Seeing pure love is seeing a most powerful force capable
of 
overcoming anything in its way, even evil.
All these types of marriages conclude implied attitude in Chopin's work. From a 
controlled marriage, to a doubtful marriage, down to the very best of a loving marriage,
one may
see how the two stories, "The Story of an Hour" and "The Storm" have differences in
attitude
toward marriage.
