2. What meaning do the chrysanthemums contribute to the story? Consider the significance of the figs and to whom Babette is conv

Answer:

Just like the figs, the chrysanthemums contribute to the story with the meaning that everything has a right time to happen, and that patience is necessary and important.

Explanation:

"Ripe Figs" is a short story by Kate Chopin. Babette is young and hasty. She wishes to go visit her cousins, but her godmother tells her no. Maman-Nainaine tells Babette she can only go when the figs are ripe.

To Babette, the figs seem to take forever to ripe. When she finally brings them over to her godmother, Maman-Nainaine is surprised to see how early they have ripened. Maman is mature, wiser, more patient than Babette. And she uses nature to convey a very important lesson: that everything has a right time to happen. We must learn to be patient and wait for that time.

At the very end, she tells Babette she can go visit her cousins. Then she asks Babette to tell her aunt that Maman herself will come and visit when the chysanthemums are in bloom. As we can see, to Maman, nature dictates the proper time - be it with figs or with chrysanthemums. Maman trusts nature - nature is patient and perfect.

How is a motif different from a them?

77julia77 [94]

Motif and theme are both connected and related in a literary work, but they are different in some ways. A motif is a recurring element in a story, but is not necessarily the main message. The theme is defined as the central idea which is being explained by the motif.

There are multiple ways to interpret a work of fiction. For example, we said that a reader could analyze a short story or a nove

Answer:

Literary theories are used to analyse texts, sometimes these literary theories come from other fields of study, such as psychology.

Structuralism

This literary theory has borrowed main concepts from the linguist Ferdinand DeSassure. They established that the world is organized in system of signs, and when trying to find the meaning of a text, one should focus on the signs (words) that appear more often.

Binary oppositions, are dichotomies that can be found throughout a text (such as, love vs hate, life vs death); Structuralist believed that by identifying these binaries, the meaning of the text could be clearly found.

Furthermore, they believed that signs were made up of two components:

A) Signifier = The dictionary definition of a word. (sign)

B) Signified = The mental representation of a word (sign)

Bearing this dual nature of signs, establishing the actual meaning of a sign can be tricky, because they are arbitrary, that is, I may have a mental representation of the word "bank" and you may have another (I could be thinking of a place to sit, and you of a monetary institution)

The main objective of structuralism when analysing a text was that of identifying signs in order to find the meaning of the text.

2. Post Colonialism

This literary theory aims at analysing how oppressed cultures are (mis)represented in texts that were produced during or after a period of colonization.

They focus the analysis in the construction of the marginalized "other", and how the latter is forced to assume that identity. One of the main objectives of this literary theory consist of questioning the nature and hierarchy of binary oppositions, by trying to find a third term (for example, in the binary "black vs white" grey would be the hybrid or third term). This would show that identifying the meaning of a text was not as simple as Structuralists believed.

3. Formalism

This is one of the first literary theories that emerged and it is a sort of umbrella term that covers several other literary theories (like new historicism).

This perspective claims that in order to find the meaning of a text one should focus on the FORM of the text rather than on the CONTENT. Moreover, they believed that a text could be analysed objectively and scientifically. As a result, they would inspect each word, literary device, structure, rhyming patterns, in order to find the meaning of the text.

Texts were analysed in isolation, that is, without taking into account the life of the author and/or the context of production.
