I've read the story 'Regret' two times already. This story touched my heart and soul very much. Philosophical thoughts, which are used in this story are very deep. My expedtations about the plot of the story were correct. When I read the first paragraph, I realised that it is exactly that story that I wished to read.
Kate Chopin was the representative of American feminist literature. In the biggest part of her short stories as well as in 'Regret' she focused her attention on life of women, their wants and needs. The most popular works, which were written using this theme are the following: 'The story of an honour', 'A Respectable Woman' , ' Madame Celestiv's Divorce''
Though Kate Chopin is usually considered to be a writer of American Realism and naturalism, the story is difficult to classify, in part because it is extremely short. The fact that the story leaves the moral statement up to the reader would suggest that it is of naturalism, but the fairytale-like elements of the love story are inconsistent with either naturalism or realism.
You are on the right way, Julia! Reading the story for several times will help you read out new, hidden meanings each time.

ВідповістиВидалитиSo, I'm really interested! It is always so exciting to read stories with some philosophical thoughts, especially, when they are written by women. I think only the woman can understand the other woman. I'll surely read this story!
