1. I was really struck by the review from "Books of the Week" (and I will probably be writing my blog post about it) published in the Providence Sunday Journal, especially the ending where it begins, "The worst of such stories is that they will come into the hands of the youth--" Looking at this review from a feminism perspective, what do you make of the language? Why does there seem to be such a fear of accepting a sense oif female independence?
2. Why do you think Chopin wrote this story as a kind of mirror image to her life? Was it simply for the purpose of being rebellious against societal expectations, or was Chopin perhaps attempting to "awaken" other women?
