Need help with my writing homework on The Influence of Chopins Life. Write a 1750 word paper answering; Similarly, in the “Story of an Hour” her protagonist Mrs. Mallard reveals much of a woman’s self in patriarchy that remains a silent reality. Indeed Chopin belongs to an age when female authors were trying to voice out a female-self dispelling the years-old nonexistence. In order to exist in a male-dominated society, dispelling the nonexistence, the female authors like Chopin, Gilman, etc had to discover their own selves before engaging with the oppressive patriarchy. Therefore, Chopin like others had to look into her real-life experiences. It is obvious such self-exploration along with a number of other events influenced her writing to be gynocentric. Referring to the influence of Chopin’s real-life experiences on the story, Jasdomin Tolentino comments:

Kate Chopin, raised in an unconventional and matriarchal Louisiana family, went against nineteenth century chauvinist society and used her own life experiences to embody her feminist views in stories like “The Storm” and “The Story of an Hour.” (7)

Like a number of other works of Kate Chopin, “the Story of An Hour” lacks a male villain. Indeed it does not portray the least villainy of the male counterparts. A Mrs. Mallard reaction to her husband appears to be confusing and unusual. But it is obvious that she is not antagonistic to her supposedly dead husband. Yet she feels a sense of relief at the death of Mr. Mallard.&nbsp.The story was published subsequently on April 19, 1894. It is very possible that Chopin’s own feelings about Oscar’s death have enriched the story greatly. It is not shocking that she would mourn Oscar’s death but also cherished the freedom derived from it. (Toth “Unveiling Kate” 34) For an autonomous woman, freedom is more important than the life of a dearest one. Chopin’s unconventional upbringing in a female-centered family where she viewed female autonomy in practice and where she viewed the deaths of her “father, grandfather, and great-grandfather” “prevented her as she matured from experiencing in her own family the traditional submissiveness of women to men” (Skaggs 2).
