(First half)

Mrs. Baroda was a little annoyed to learn that her husband's friend, Gowarnell, was coming to live on a farmhouse in the middle of the fields, to spend a week or two here. When it was winter, they welcomed many guests. They were in New Orleans at the time and spent most of their time just having fun. Mild flying is true. Now it was here in the vicinity of nature. When her husband told her that Gowarnell was coming here for a week or two, she was really in the mood for a rest. Does not break. This was the man he had heard so much about, but he had never seen. Her husband's college friend was now a journalist, and in no sense was she able to join the ranks of the society or be popular in clubs or parties. These are two of the reasons why he has never met her before. But he had inadvertently created an image of her. In his mental image, the newcomer was tall, thin, a spectator who doubted the goodness of man, who kept his hands in his pockets and did not like him. His hand was not hidden in his pocket. And when he first met her, contrary to expectations, he liked her. But he did not understand why he liked it. Even when he tried to partially understand this dislike, he could not reach a satisfactory conclusion. What was in it that he liked? - He did not understand the reasons. It did not have the characteristics of a very intelligent and promising person, of which Gaston, her husband, had repeatedly told her, had a special quality. On the contrary, in response to her husband Gaston's outspoken and literal hospitality as part of her welcome to make the guest feel at home here, on the contrary, she herself remained silent, listening intently to what others were saying. The manners of the newcomer were polite to Mrs. Baroda, but she did not feel that there was any need for a caring or chewy woman, but she was attracted to him, agreed to it, or held a high opinion of him. Once settled in the farmhouse, Anu seemed to enjoy sitting under one of the large pillars in the wide hallway, smoking cigars in a relaxed state and listening intently to Gaston's experiences in the sugarcane plantation. 'This is what I tell you to live,' he said with a deep sense of satisfaction, as the air from the sugarcane fields caressed him with a fun warm and fragrant silky touch.

He liked to be relaxed when big pet dogs came running and deliberately licked his feet. He was not interested in going fishing and when he proposed to the guest he did not show any eagerness to go out and kill the fish. Gowarnell's personality seemed like a puzzle to Mrs. Baroda, but she liked it. He really deserved love, a harmless man. Even after a few days, when he did not understand more than he had understood before, his confusion now turned into anger. And in that mood, she left her husband and her guest together and went out on her own. When he found out that Gowarnell had not even taken note of her move, he walked in front of her and slapped her. Like it or not, he started living with it. When he was walking alone towards the mill, he started walking with her, walking with her on the muddy ground. Deliberately wrapped around her, she kept trying to infiltrate the mental secrets of her guest. That something is understood .. 'When does he leave - this is your friend?' One day she asked her husband. "It simply came to our notice then. 'Not for a week, my dear. I don't understand, it doesn't bother you. ' 'No. But if it was given to me, it would be more fun for me. If it was like other people, I would have to make some arrangements for its comfort and entertainment. ' The guest took his wife's beautiful face in both his hands and lovingly smiled at her annoyed eyes.

He was in Mrs. Baroda's dressing room at the time and was getting ready to go to the party. 'You're full of surprises, baby darling,' the husband said to his wife. "I can't even say for sure under what circumstances you will behave." He kissed his wife and went in front of the mirror to tighten the tie on the collar. "And here you are," he continued, "taking that poor Gwarnell's word seriously and wreaking havoc on her. Your wishes or expectations are of no value to her." 'Disaster!' He became angry and expressed his displeasure. 'Nonsense! How can you say such a thing? Havoc, of course! But you know, you said he was clever. ' 'Yes, that's right. But now the workload has been crushed. That's why I told her to come here and rest. ' "You always say that this man is a thinker, it's his job to imagine new things, to make them come true, that's what you said," he argued without calming down. "I was expecting that if nothing else, others would be interested in it, that would be the man." I'm going to town tomorrow morning to sew my spring gown. You tell me Mr. I'll be there for Aunt Octavia when the Governell leaves. ' That night she walked alone and sat on a bench under a large live cedar tree where the stone walking ladder ended. He did not remember that his thoughts and intentions had become so disturbed before. He did not get any lock from it but yes, he must have felt a definite feeling of urgency to leave home in the morning.

Introduction to the Creator

Kate Chopin

Born: February 8, 190

Died: August 8, 1903

Literary Creation: The Storm, Desires Baby, A Pair of Silk Stockings, A Respectable Woman, The Awakening

Films based on literature: Grand Isle, A Matter of Prejudice, and 'Joy That Kills', based on the story 'The Story of an Hour'.

In the twentieth century, feminist literature was created in America by a few independent-minded women. Among those writers is Kate Chopin. At that time, women's personal existence and sexual freedom were limited. At the time, her words were rarely understood, but after her death, her talk of women's liberation became more relevant. A central idea was frequently mentioned in his stories. Manners of marriage and society towards woman. In his stories, the woman had two options. To walk on the limits set by the society or to do as the heart says. His characters mostly chose the other way. He could very easily and consciously express the feelings and concepts of a woman's mind. And yet not a single simple conclusion could be drawn from his literary creations. Rather, these creations took the reader into a complex state created by the practices, prejudices, and demands of society.
