Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Tubingen, language: English, abstract: "It’s ironic", is a statement certainly often proclaimed after reader Kate Chopin’s short story The Story of an Hour, but often it is not further dissected. After all, it is commonly expected one should know what irony is and how it works. But that might not always be the case. Surely, one needs a deeper understanding of the concept of irony to properly comment on it as a formal element. Interpreting ironies can be very enlightening as it deepens the understanding and meaning of texts as well. In this paper first I am going to outline research done on irony, to define its specific criteria, different types of irony and how irony is detected and interpreted. Then, employing the knowledge about irony and its criteria, specifically focusing on Wayne C. Booth’s four steps of reconstruction, I am going to analyse the use of ironies in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour. Finally, I am going to analyse how the ironies in the short story can be interpreted. All while arguing that the use of ironies in Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour help illustrate the reality of a 19th-century woman feeling trapped in her marriage.

From the Introduction: Described by Goethe as “the most charming little whole” of antiquity, Ruth has long been recognized for its literary quality. This beautifully composed narrative continues to attract readers across generations and boundaries of gender, class and ethnicity. In fact, the beauty of the book often distracts from the practical nature of the narrative. For all of its appeal, Ruth is, after all a story about family and survival. The marriage between Ruth and Boaz is a levirate marriage. The goal of this practice is to ensure the continuation and stability of the family line. Thus this “charming little whole” has as its subject preservation of life in the face of death and upholding memory to ward off the loss of identity. This story of survival is short; it consists of four chapters with elements of loss and recovery; famine and harvest, barrenness and fruitfulness, life and death. These elements afford the book a broad appeal as it speaks to various stages and seasons of life, all the while upholding the power of faithfulness against an ever-changing backdrop. Named after one of the major characters, the book of Ruth tells the story of Naomi of Bethlehem and her family “in the days when the judges ruled.” So much of what happens in Ruth happens where no one can see. Ruth binds herself to Naomi in the “in between place” of Moab and Judah. No one is there to witness it. Similarly, Ruth asks Boaz for redemption in the middle of the night when we presume everyone else is asleep. These events allow for the inclusion of Ruth as Boaz’s people, first as a gleaner and then as a wife. The pattern of what happens away from our observation and then bursts forth where we can see it draws on the images of planting and harvest, conception and birth. On a theological level, it suggests that even in the famine times, God is planting seed, preparing for the next harvest, even when we cannot see it. We must assume then, that whatever we know or recognize about the work of God is only a small piece of the larger whole. We cannot know it all. Chapters: Introduction A Dialogue of Determination Terms of Endearment A Cloaked Covenant A Dialogue of Identity Conclusion

Desiree's Baby BY Kate Chopin is about the daughter of Monsieur and Madame Valmond�, who are wealthy French Creoles in antebellum Louisiana. Abandoned as a baby, Desiree was found by Monsieur Valmond� lying in the shadow of a stone pillar near the Valmond� gateway. She is courted by the son of another wealthy, well-known and respected French Creole family, Armand. They marry and have a child. People who see the baby have the sense it is different. Eventually they realize that the baby's skin is the same color as a quadroon (one-quarter African)-the baby has African ancestry. At the time of the story, this would have been considered a problem for a person believed to be white.
