Who enjoys Kate Chopin? I realize there is a topic on The Awakening, but that wasn't very popular. Maybe other people enjoy other short stories by her?
I find her style so unique and beautiful. It's deep and romantic... mmmm <3! If you sort of enjoy Hawthorne (haha), I would suggest looking up some of her short stories and reading them more than once. They are all so tricky and awesome. |

I actually don't see Gatsby as a romantic overwhelmed by society; more like an extreme romantic trying to use society but is in the end overwhelmed by his own ridiculous expectaions.
Mrm, I like your interepretation of the ocean, but at the same time, it would've been nice for a dose of realism, because she has children, which bugged me the most. Even though Nora in A Doll's House leaves, and I support that, I still couldn't help but apply the novels/plays to real life. Think of the children! Think of the children! |
