Experiences Reflected in Writing

Experiences Reflected in Writing

Do authors use life’s experiences to depict events in their own writing?  Not all authors’ lives are reflected in their writing but Kate Chopin’s life influenced and paralleled events in her short story, “The Story of an Hour,” featured in Michael Meyer’s The Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature.  The story was written in the late 19th century when women were inferior to not only their husbands, but men in general.  Mrs. Mallard, the main character, experiences realistic situations that Chopin either experienced one way or another in her own life, or was exposed to by society.   Chopin gathers thoughts and ideas from her own life, during this time period when the relationship between men and women differs from today’s culture, to express her beliefs and individuality through her writing.  Both Chopin and Mrs. Mallard suffered the death of a close one from a train accident, lived and married in societies where women were to be submissive to men, and experienced an unexpected loss of freedom and passion in their personal lives.
	Not only did Chopin and Mrs. Mallard both struggle through a death of a loved one, but the deathly situations were
