In Steinbacks’ “The Chrysanthemum”, Elisa Allen’s
interaction with the repairman indicates her need of a different life that she
had been experiencing. She was born at a time where women had little opportunity
to choose the things they want and express their wants. It can be seen that
Elisa is an intelligent and passionate woman who’s been married to a man that
she do not like. Her interaction with the repairman is mostly exchanged with thought-provoking
conversation and the need for sex. Because these are the things that were not
given to her by her husband. The repairman, even though he exchanges flirts
with her, do not feel the same. It is shown that he does not share Elisa’s
passion at all when he threw Elisa’s chrysanthemum shoots away – a representation
of Elisa.
i believe that it is to Heightening scene’s setting because it makes the person swimming more realistic in the film vs. if the person swimming had no sound coming from their arms. hope this helps :)
Answer: Mrs. Mallard feels victorious because she is released from the life she felt trapped in. She no longer must suffer the misery and unhappiness of living with Mr. Mallard, nor will she ever have to endure such a marriage again.
She has been set free by her husband's death - something that at first would seem wholly negative but in reality provides her with relief and happiness that she had never known when he was alive.
