Kate Chopin And Interlopers Similarities

Kate Chopin and Saki are both extraordinary authors with wonderful imaginations. In many ways their stories are quite alike, if someone looks past characters, setting, and circumstance, they can find many similarities that go beyond just the surface! But don’t misconstrue, their literary works are different in many ways too.
The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin and The Interlopers by Saki are incredibly different yet subtly analogous. It’s pretty obvious if you have read the short stories in question, that they are enormously different when it comes to characters and setting. The Story of an Hour takes place in the comfort of her home, whereas the Interlopers is set in a stormy, windy, wild, and wolf infested forest. The characters are especially different in that while in one story is a frail young woman with heart troubles, in the other story are to strong young men with sharp senses and vast hunting experience. A woman freed from the burden of a husband and two young men trapped beneath a tree. A woman who’s died of grief because of her husband’s safe return, two men regretting not befriending each other sooner. As has been made clear, the stories are different.

Such as, when the loving husband died and his wife was overflowing with joy, and when the enemies who had fought over a strip of useless land became friends with hopes of largesse in the future. When the woman died right after the pinnacle of joy in her life, so did the interlopers. Feelings of freedom and peace can be so fleeting. If put in the wrong place that is. Irony is a wonderful literary device to create surprising and unexpected plot twist by taking the obvious and replacing it with something uniquely
