Chopin Thesis Activity

Thesis#2

The whole time Chopin keeps Mrs. Mallard locked up in the room gives her the opportunity to finally see the beginning of a new life just by looking out the window. “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life.” Spring relates to beginning anew and the start of life. This is what Mrs. Mallard had been missing feeling nonexistent in her marriage. “…whose lines bespoke repression…but now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky.” Chopin compares Mrs. Mallard depressed state to the beautiful images of nature. This makes her come alive once again.
