Compare & Contrast of Two Poems

Introduction

Kate Chopin wrote short stories from the beginning of his career and her famous and best known poems are 'Desiree's Baby', 'The Story of an Hour' and 'The Storm'. She dealt with universal themes of women that made her a pioneer of feminist writers of the twentieth century.

The writer of I'm going, Tristan Bernard (1866-1947), was a French dramatist, named Paul Bernard at birth, and then he adopted the pseudonym Tristan Bernard at the age of twenty five when he started to be popularly known as the writer. Much of his work is based on political, economic, social foibles of the society of his time. Although many of his comedies were farces, through them, he managed to get across fresh, philosophic insights on life, which created wide respect for his work (Bernard 1915).

The poem 'the Story of an Hour' by Kate Chopin is an impressive literary piece that attracts the feeling of the readers as well as their minds. However, the story is very short and precise, but it is rich and complete, and every word of the poem has a deep thought and meaning. The main character of the story, Mrs. Mallard experiences in her life something that not everyone has the luck to have the happiness of freedom; but the reader understands it only in the end of the story. However, upon reading I'm going; a comedy in one act, a reader feels a whirlwind of various emotions. The main characters of this act were Henri and Jeanne, and they both were in the middle of a small disagreement. However, it rather shows a disappointment as compared to the poem 'the story of an hour' that expresses the feeling of happiness and joy when a person gets free from everyone around him or her.

The two poems explain the concept of happiness and joy; however, I'm going was not able to present the idea appropriately. Rather, it creates a feeling of disappointment for the reader in the name of joy and happiness.

Thesis statement

To study the joy and happiness of the two poems those are shown to attract their readers and audiences.

The Story of an Hour

Mrs. Mallard had heart trouble and the news of her death was brought to her husband with many precautions. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken phrases about her problem, and believed that she will be very upset after hearing the news of her heart trouble making her more ill. Her husband's friend Richards was there too. Richard was in the newspaper office when they received news of the train crash and the name of Mrs. Mallard's husband was leading the list of people who were dead (Butler 1989). 

She heard the same story as many other women listened before, with crippling helplessness to admit its significance. She immediately began to mourn with sudden and violent drop in the arms of her ...
