Question

Write an ACES paragraph responding to the following prompt: Describe the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Mallard. What does this reveal about the time period in which the story was written?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chopin is showing us a social situation of the times with the woman as a prisoner of her husband. It is common knowledge that marriages are not always about mutual love between two people and during the time that Chopin was writing, this was more often the case. The story was created in the year of 1894. During that time, it shows how women weren't treated equally/fairly as men.
