After reading the locket, I think the Clear that Chopin demonstrate the story is very good, In "The Locket" the author, Kate Chopin, uses foreshadowing, imagery, and flashback to develop the inevitable plot twist in the conclusion. The foreshadowing comes from Judge Pillar, Edmond's father, by pointing out that a miracle is behind every door when he sees Octavia becoming depressed. The Chopin uses imagery to set the theme for the story, which is the reoccurrence of miracles, the biggest one being the return of Edmond from war.

Chopin defines a “mother-woman” as someone “who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands” (8). How do Chopin and Gilman use character foils to give us insight into the protagonists and societal expectations?
“Having added to American literature a novel uncommon in its kind as in its excellence, she deserves not to be forgotten. The Awakening, deserves to be restored and to be given its place among novels worthy of preservation”(Eble 82). Kenneth Eble is speaking of Kate Chopin in the quote above, revealing his opinion of her work. The topics mentioned by Chopin in The Awakening are highly controversial due to the time period. Nevertheless, Chopin creates an amazing structure in order to convey her message. Chopin intertwines different motifs and symbols throughout the novel in order to create meaning at the end of the novel.

Chopin's The Awakening is full of symbolism. Rather than hit the reader on the head with blunt literalism, Chopin uses symbols to relay subtle ideas. Within each narrative segment, Chopin provides a symbol that the reader must fully understand in order to appreciate the novel as a whole. I will attempt to dissect some of the major symbols and give possible explanations as to their importance within the text.
Kate Chopin’s novel The Awakening expresses the difficulty of finding a woman’s place in society. Edna learns of new ideas such as freedom and independence while vacationing in Grand Isle. Faced with a choice to conform to society’s expectations or to obey personal desires for independence, Edna Pontellier realizes that either option will result in dissatisfaction. Thus, Edna’s awakening in Grand Isle leads to her suicide.

The story of “The Storm” has a very deep meaning behind it. It’s about a family who is separated by a storm for a small amount of time and it leads to the wife, Calixta, cheating on her family and showing no regrets of the fact. Kate Chopin in her story “The Strom” uses imagery to demonstrate the relationship between the storm and the characters themselves.
“The beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, tangled, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing” (Chopin 67). Change: the most frightening word in the English language; it has never came quickly, never came easily, never come without casualties. Throughout history, countless revolutions have fought with blood, sweat, and tears for the acceptance of new ideas to foster change within mainstream culture. Naturally, there is always a resilient resistance to revolution, the norm that does not embrace the change. In American history, there have been countless revolutions, from civil rights to the American revolution itself, but perhaps the longest, drastic revolution is the feminist revolution that began in the late 1800’s and arguably still happening as the gender wars. At the turn into the 20th Century, the fight between gender roles and individuality was manifested in the culture which was reflected in the reception of Kate Chopin’s The Awakening as she intentionally manipulated gendered language throughout the text.

These symbolic elements make the connection between Edna’s world, and her eventual awaking more effective. There are three common symbols that are used in the story are birds, houses, and the ocean and each means something different in the context of the story. The nature has an important impact, the birds represent freedom and the ability to fly but are also symbols for something that is strong yet gentle. Houses are where one resides and thus are reflections on the soul of the inhabitant. Edna has different homes is important because they reflect her changing state of mind. The ocean symbolizes freedom and the represents death
Richard was too late. “…She had died of heart disease- of joy that kills.” (Chopin, 58) In the short story “The Story of an Hour”, Kate Chopin tells a story of women confined in a repressive marriage and uses a literary element called foreshadowing to add suspense or tension in the story and hints about things that will occur later in the story. Literary devices include imagery, foreshadowing, plot, setting, and point of view. The combination of these literary devices allows authors to effectively convey what message will be in the story. The literary device called Foreshadowing plays a significant role in the short story as well as other literary devices such as imagery and symbolism which combine and create a unique way of how the story unfolds.
The Awakening by Kate Chopin is a novel full of symbolism which reveals much of the deeper meaning in the story. Within each narrative segment there is often a symbol that helps to add meaning to the text, and the understanding of these symbols is essential to a full appreciation of the story.

Throughout the short story, “The Story of an Hour,” Kate Chopin uses imagery and symbolism with several different objects to further the theme and plot. Since the use of symbolism helps bring depth to the story without focusing on too much detail, readers can acquire a more complex idea on what they believe the author tries to convey throughout the story. As Chopin executes an underlying message behind her signs, she also reveals new traits and meanings of her character, Mrs. Mallard. Despite Chopin’s use of several symbols to advance the storyline, the open window exemplifies not only Mrs. Mallard’s realization of her new-found freedom, but her hope and happiness as well.
