A Formalist Look at Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”, 1894
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 7 page paper that studies Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” from a formalist perspective. Writer Kate Chopin (1851-1904) wrote during the time of naturalism which was considered as a “literature of manly men”. However, critics argue that a purely masculine approach to naturalism and the reality of the 19th century ignores “one of the most fascinating aspects of this work: its ongoing concern with women’s relationship to modernity”. A formalist approach to Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” incorporates all of the traditional analytical and formal procedures dealing with the work such as the structure, relationship between the parts, narration, characters, setting and language. Instead of being merely analytical however, readers of Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” understand Burke’s definition of form as “the arousing of fulfillment of desires” which stresses the “realistic rather than an idealistic basis for form”. Within the work, Chopin also attends to the aspects used within the “American short story” genre which was becoming popular in the 19th century. “The Story of an Hour” not only develops the “practical applications of the notion that the nineteenth-century short story was a generic locale where authors attempted to construct ideological and literary boundaries out of opposing impulses” but the story itself tells of the “imposing impulses” faced by all women at the time, including women writers such as Chopin.
