A Short Analysis of Kate Chopin's A Respectable Women from a Feminist Perspective

Kate Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels based in Louisiana, who was considered by some literary critics to have been a forerunner of American 20th-century feminist authors. In her famous work A Respectable Woman, she created a contradictory character and a brilliant and ambiguous closing. The thesis is aimed at discussing the feminist views and the reasons for extramarital love and the suggestions of contemporary marriage by revealing the oppression and resistance embodied in the story.
