The Two Main Characters Louise Mallard and Emily Grierson Are Both Similar and Dissimilar.

In the short stories A Rose for Emily and The Story of an Hour, Emily Grierson and Louise Mallard are both similar women, in similar time periods but they both are in entirely different situations. This essay will take these two specific characters and compare and contrast them in multiple, detailed ways.

Emily’s father considered themselves superior than others in town. . He believed none of the young boys were suitable for Emily, and always chased them away. Her

Prior to reafing a short story, one can learn valuable lessons that can be used for the rest of there life. The two short stories share a common theme of the mystery of others minds. In “ A Rose for Emily” the townspeople could not take the smell coming from Emily’s house any longer, so “They broke open the cellar door and sprinkled

Although the mother may have been trying to help Emily, the mother should have tried to take care of Emily better instead of sending her off as the only solution. One of the other effects of her mother’s unavoidable neglect is Emily’s failure to be on the same pace as her peers in class. She is at a state of illiteracy that is uncommon for her age at the time which may be a result from staying at home instead of going to class to take care of the household. In addition to the mother’s neglect, having a sister who was the ideal poster child may have caused self confidence problems as she grew older being the odd one out in the family. Emily’s mother should have made sure she was able to take care of Emily first before deciding to give birth to another child. What the mother thought would be the best option for Emily had a more clear negative effect on Emily after she grew older still not having any clear direction in her life.

In my opinion, Anna Sergeyevna and Emily Grierson are very alike. Despite, being from two different stories Chekhov’s “Lady with the dog” and Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. However, these women have at least two major differences because Anna was married and Emily was never married. Also, Emily ages more throughout the story than Anna. For example, Emily was dead before the story began, then an old woman and became a young lady. Even though, these women have two major differences. Still, these two women are very alike because they were oppressed by men, depressed and had affairs with men.

In “A Rose for Emily”, Miss Emily Grierson lives a life of quiet turmoil. Her

Denial is a recurring theme in both stories rendered by those who believe to be in a higher class. In “A Rose for Emily,” Emily is depicted as an isolated woman who is so attached to the customs and aristocracy of the past to the degree that she cannot accept change. Emily considers herself as a wealthy and powerful spinster, and her family’s position

In "A Rose for Emily" and "Barn Burning," William Faulkner creates two characters worthy of comparison. Emily Grierson, a recluse from Jefferson, Mississippi, is an important figure in the town, despite spending most of her life in seclusion. On the contrary, Abner Snopes is a loud, fiery-tempered man that most people tend to avoid. If these characters are judged by reputation and outward appearance only, the conclusion would be that Emily Grierson and Abner Snopes are complete opposites. However, despite the external differences, these two characters have surprisingly similar personalities.

She wanted to live a long life that was ahead of her without her husband where she could make her own decisions. Catherine was sad when her husband died, she lived the life Louise wanted to live but she still had to take care of her kids. Catherine Smith and Louise Mallard could have become friends if they have known each other. They both had loving husbands, hated marriage, and lost their spouse. Although they differed in many ways such as when Catherine grew up to love marriage eventually and when Louise didn’t have any kids they shared the same goal of wanting to live their life

The Hour of Change “The Story of an Hour” is a piece of literature which shows off great examples of characterization. The story revolves around a single woman, Louise Mallard, and her changes in character after a series of traumatic events. Kate Chopin, the author, has unique methods of characterization and character development which develop Mrs. Mallard’s persona into a unique figure in the story. As a whole, Chopin’s indirect portrayal of Mrs. Mallard as a round, dynamic, and highly individualized character is the most appropriate way in which she could have written the story.

To relate the idea of class struggle to the relationships between the characters in “A Rose for Emily,” there must be a clear definition of where the characters stand in terms of economic position. A major theme in “A Rose for Emily” is the relationship between Emily Grierson and the citizens of the town

In conclusion, it can be seen that, Emily and Louise are two women who live the same lifestyle. Both are very unhappy at the beginning of the story, but each finds a way to fulfill their happiness. However, Emily and Louise differ in formation, the content of having a man around could one of them happy and keep the other them happy. Therefore, it is important that both of the authors tell how far their characters will go to be happy.

As mentioned previously, Louise is saddened because Call leaves for the Navy to fight in WWII and returns back a man. Louise is happy to see him, but this happiness fades away when he announces that he is engaged to her sister Caroline. Once Call tells Louise that he and Caroline are going to be married Louise once again is starts to resentment her sister for “taking her best friend.” Louise becomes more and more bitter with her life, and actually forms a hatred for her sister for getting Call to marry her. While Call rationalizes and says Caroline needs her in such a big city, Louise can only see her twin sister once again beating her at something. Only, Caroline was never trying to hurt her to begin with. Another theme in the novel, is

Louise Mallard is the important character in this story. In my opinion, Louise Mallard is a victim in an unwilling marriage and medical condition. I believe that Mrs. Mallard is a woman who is in deep suffering from a medical condition and a marriage that she did not like it. From the beginning, we know that Louise Mallard “afflicted with a heart problem” (1). She is unwell but she is still pretending as a lady and been treated like a lady. This can prove with the sentence “two white slender hands” (10) which means that she does not work or involve in manual labor. It looks like people in her life like Richards and Josephine, are trying to take care of her from behind. She is not only suffering from her medical condition, but she is also suffering

In the story “William and Mary”, Mary was an unhappy wife that wanted to live more of a free life that she did not have with William. She wanted to smoke cigarettes and spend money. She sounded like an otherwise healthy person. Also, it looked like she did not have friends. Maybe, William isolated her from her friends and family. While Louise from “The Story of an Hour”, looked calmer and friendlier in the story. She had few friends that loved her. Her sister Josephine, and friend Richard were near her when she was in the hospital. Also, she had a heart trouble
