W. H. Auden
About suffering they were never wrong,
The old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position: how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just
walking
dully along;
How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's
horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water, and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

Sub-thesis, his play and Nora.
2. Nora’s treatment by her father and Nora’s treatment by her
husband Torvald.
3. Nora’s treatment by Krogstad.
4. Nora’s contrast with Christine
INTRO: Females in Conflict
Yet another voice to champion the cause of inequality of the
sexes is Henrik Ibsen.
Writing at the end of the nineteenth century in Victorian
Norway, his play A Doll House utilizes
the format of a playwright to convey through the use of
evolving characters different political and
social messages. When analyzing A Doll House’s protagonist,
Nora, her interactions with the
other characters depicts both indirect and direct social and
political commentaries on the
treatment of women in that time period, especially in its
treatment of male dominance over
women and the desire of women to be independent thinkers
deserving of respect (“Henrik
Ibsen”). This is demonstrated through Nora’s treatment by both
her husband and her father, her
dealings with Krogstad, and in her contrast with her friend
Christine.

Gender bias/difference noted in select literature:
Hints about writing an intro. for a discussion of short stories in
terms of gender bias:
1. Tell the readers that short fiction is a genre that conveys
emotion through conflict.
2. The story will be told uniquely by each author.
3. It concerns itself with personal feelings about a subject.
4. When looked at individually, a “gender bias” can be seen.
5. Different sexes will relate material and relate to material in a
different fashion.
6. Provide a thesis for this assignment that deals with our two
works, its two authors, and its different treatment of subject
matter that reflect a difference in gender and the handling of
emotion.
NOTES ON “CAT IN THE RAIN”—Written by Ernest
Hemingway, a male.
1. Told from a third-person point of view—like a camera lens.
2. Description is sparse—bleak, simple—periodic sentences.
(Subject – verb)
3. A war monument is depicted in the midst of a garden.
4. Husband and wife are cold, sterile. She is “the American
wife”
5. She is receiving little attention from husband—he is
preoccupied with reading/alone.
6. She is interested in a cat out in the rain and will go and look
for it.
7. He will go—but rather reluctantly.
8. She is fascinated by the hotel-keeper: his description is cold,
serious, mature, odd—she likes his demeanor about facing his
work. She likes his “big hands.”
9. When she returns—she begins to act more feminine—but
husband doesn’t care.
10. She vents about what she wants—a cat, longer hair,
romantic dining, and fine things.
11. The husband wants her to be quiet and read with him. The
cat is brought to the room at the request of the hotel-keeper.
NOTES ON “SWEAT”—Written by Zora Neale Hurston, a
female.
1. Delia works hard cleaning laundry for the “white folks.”
2. Her husband, Sykes, plays a nasty trick on her by putting
what she thinks is a snake in her laundry basket of clothes.
3. He thinks it’s funny—she is deathly afraid of snakes.
4. After calming down, she notices that the item that scared her
is the bullwhip used to drive his team of mules home.
5. We then learn that he detests her cleaning clothes for “white
folks,” but she reminds him that this is how his belly has been
filled all these 15 years.
6. We also learn that there is another girl, younger and prettier
that has come into the relationship. We also learn that he has
run off on her before and even beaten her.
7. But Delia has become strong—perhaps through the help of
Church.
8. We learn from the men-folk that Sykes is no good, tearing
women down and moving on. Now he’s working on a new gal—
Bertha—who has been in town 3 months, and he has been
paying her room charge.
9. He finally moved a huge rattlesnake in a box into the house.
Delia asks him to remove it, but he refuses. She confesses her
hatred for him and confesses that she has had enough of his
physical and mental abuse.
10. One night when Delia stays longer at church to witness a
“Love Feast” service—Sykes lets the snake loose in the house.
And then the consequence:_____________________________

10. Conclusion—what these two writers have done for the
liberation of women
It is an accepted fact that throughout history, women have not
been given the same
opportunities that men have come to enjoy. Not until more
recently has this gap between the sexes
been reduced, thanks to crusaders who championed this
phenomenon. Two such crusaders,
authors, lived during the nineteenth century, when inequality of
the sexes was more obvious and
accepted as part of the established status quo. Sensitive to this
unfair bias that existed, Kate Chopin
and Henrik Ibsen chose to write stories and plays that depicted
this issue in hopes of inspiring others
to see the injustice that prevailed.
Kate Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1850, a time
when death from disease was
prevalent and society was highly conservative. After her father
was killed in a train wreck when the
author was five years old, she resided in her house with her
mother, grandmother, and great-
grandmother, all of whom were widows and rebellious in their
outlook on life. Consequently, it is no
wonder that she grew up to be independent herself. And, when
her husband of fifteen years, Oscar
Chopin, from Louisiana, died from typhoid fever, she took on
the responsibility of rearing her young
six boys by herself without getting remarried and moved back
home to St. Louis (Toth). Her
newfound spirit of independent thinking is reflected in her three
short stories “The Story of an
Hour,” “Desiree’s Baby,” and “The Storm.”
NOTES ON “FAMILY VALUES” ESSAY
I. Intro about importance of family
A. Older people pass down their experience
B. This is important as it keeps values alive and is good for the
future.
C. This can be seen in “Everyday Use,” “Girl,” and “The
Lesson.”
II. “Everyday Use” (1125-1131)
A. Mama is the “teacher.”
B. She must protect Maggie from Dee.
C. Maggie represents the goodness: the purity and innocence of
the country.
D. Dee represents modernization and the city-way of looking at
life.
E. Mama must see to it that the family stays intact.
III. “Girl” (123-124)
A. A mother instructs her daughter about how to act with morals
and dignity.
B. Surviving with everyday chores.
C. Handling the responsibilities of “being seen.”
D. How to act with the opposite sex.
E. How to act in the grocery store.
F. The mother wants her daughter to take pride in herself.
IV. “The Lesson” (654-659)
A. Told from 1st Person point of view - Sylvia narrates
B. Miss Moore must teach the “street kids” how to rise above
their condition.
C. She takes them to F.A.O. Schwarz, Fifth Avenue, NYC.
D. They see items way over-priced for those items’ usefulness
and practicality.
E. Kids learn that it “ain’t fair that there’s inequality.” Sugar
says, “I think that this is not much of a democracy if you ask
me. Equal chance to pursue happiness means an equal crack at
the dough, don’t it?” (659).
F. Sylvia ends with, “but ain’t nobody gonna beat me at nuthin”
(659).
V. Values have been passed along in these three stories from
one generation to the next. There might be clashes here and
there, but “good ultimately survives.”

USEFUL/HELPFUL QUOTATIONS FROM THE READINGS
ON FEMALE SUBJUGATION
“The Story of an Hour”
· Society interprets situations differently from the individual’s
reality.
· Women sometimes found themselves in unhappy
relationships—marriage was expected.
· Society supported this lifestyle.
· Consequently many women felt trapped and insignificant in
their daily lives.
· Notable quotations:
“Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble,
great care was taken to break to her the news of her husband’s
death” (45). [railroad disaster—Brentley Mallard’s name led the
list of victims.]
“She did not hear the [news] as many women have heard the
same….She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines
bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (46).
“There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it,
fearfully….She was beginning to realize this thing that was
approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back
with her will…” (46).
“’Free, free, free!’….There would be no one to live for her
during those coming years; she would live for herself” (46).
“And yet she had loved him—sometimes. Often she had not”
(46).
“’Go away. I am not making myself ill.’ No; she was drinking in
a very elixir of life through that open window” (47).
“When the doctors came they said she died of heart disease—of
joy that kills” (47).
“Desiree’s Baby”
· Interracial relationships do happen and should be understood
and dealt with humanely for the sake of love.
· Women should not be thought guilty based on their gender
alone.
· Love should conquer all.
“My mother, they tell me I am not white. Armand has told me I
am not white. For God’s sake tell them it is not true. You must
know it is not true. I shall die. I must die. I cannot be so
unhappy, and live” (66).
“’My own Desiree: Come home to Valmonde; back to your
mother who loves you. Come with your child” (66).
[In a note found by Armand from Armand’s mother to his
father] “’But above all,’ she wrote, ‘night and day, I thank the
good God for having so arranged our lives that our dear Armand
will never know that his mother, who adores him, belongs to the
race that is cursed with the brand of slavery’” (66).
“The Storm”
· A story of unleashed passion and its instinctual existence.
· This story argues against the “double-standard” that favors
males and sexual promisquity.
· Certain “matters” must be properly handled.
“’Do you remember—in Assumption, Calixta?’ [Alcee] asked in
a low voice broken by passion. Oh! She remembered; for in
Assumption he had kissed her and kissed her; until his senses
would well nigh fail” (II:73).
“They did not heed the crashing torrents, and the roar of the
elements made her laugh as she lay in his arms” (II:73).
“The generous abundance of her passion, without guile or
trickery, was like a white flame which penetrated and found
response in depths of his own sensuous nature that had never
yet been reached” (II:73).
“Bobinot and Bibi began to relax and enjoy themselves, and
when the three seated themselves at the table they laughed much
and so loud that anyone might have heard them as far away as
Laballiere” (III:74)
“Alcee Laballiere wrote to his wife, Clarisse, that night. It was
a loving letter, full of tender solitude. He told her not to hurry
back, but if she and the babies liked it at Biloxi, to stay a month
longer” (IV:74).
“As for Clarisse, she was charmed upon receiving her husband’s
letter….and the first free breath since her marriage seemed to
restore the pleasant liberty of her maiden days. Devoted as she
was to her husband, their intimate conjugal life was something
which she was willing to forego for a while” (V:75).
“So the storm passed and everyone was happy” (V:75).

USEFUL/HELPFUL QUOTATIONS FROM THE READINGS ON FEMALE SUBJUGATION “The Story of an Hour” · Society interprets situations differently from the individual’s reality. · Women sometimes found themselves in unhappy relationships—marriage was expected. · Society supported this lifestyle. · Consequently many women felt trapped and insignificant in their daily lives. · Notable quotations: “Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her the news of her husband’s death” (45). [railroad disaster—Brentley Mallard’s name led the list of victims.] “She did not hear the [news] as many women have heard the same….She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (46). “There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully….She was beginning to realize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will…” (46). “’Free, free, free!’….There would be no one to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself” (46). “And yet she had loved him—sometimes. Often she had not” (46). “’Go away. I am not making myself ill.’ No; she was drinking in

    a very elixirof life through that open window” (47). “When the doctors came they said she died of heart disease—of joy that kills” (47). “Desiree’s Baby” · Interracial relationships do happen and should be understood and dealt with humanely for the sake of love. · Women should not be thought guilty based on their gender alone. · Love should conquer all. “My mother, they tell me I am not white. Armand has told me I am not white. For God’s sake tell them it is not true. You must know it is not true. I shall die. I must die. I cannot be so unhappy, and live” (66). “’My own Desiree: Come home to Valmonde; back to your mother who loves you. Come with your child” (66). [In a note found by Armand from Armand’s mother to his father] “’But above all,’ she wrote, ‘night and day, I thank the good God for having so arranged our lives that our dear Armand will never know that his mother, who adores him, belongs to the race that is cursed with the brand of slavery’” (66). “The Storm” · A story of unleashed passion and its instinctual existence. · This story argues against the “double-standard” that favors males and sexual promisquity. · Certain “matters” must be properly handled. “’Do you remember—in Assumption, Calixta?’ [Alcee] asked in a low voice broken by passion. Oh! She remembered; for in Assumption he had kissed her and kissed her; until his senses would well nigh fail” (II:73).

    “They did notheed the crashing torrents, and the roar of the elements made her laugh as she lay in his arms” (II:73). “The generous abundance of her passion, without guile or trickery, was like a white flame which penetrated and found response in depths of his own sensuous nature that had never yet been reached” (II:73). “Bobinot and Bibi began to relax and enjoy themselves, and when the three seated themselves at the table they laughed much and so loud that anyone might have heard them as far away as Laballiere” (III:74) “Alcee Laballiere wrote to his wife, Clarisse, that night. It was a loving letter, full of tender solitude. He told her not to hurry back, but if she and the babies liked it at Biloxi, to stay a month longer” (IV:74). “As for Clarisse, she was charmed upon receiving her husband’s letter….and the first free breath since her marriage seemed to restore the pleasant liberty of her maiden days. Devoted as she was to her husband, their intimate conjugal life was something which she was willing to forego for a while” (V:75). “So the storm passed and everyone was happy” (V:75).
