The topic that I have chosen for my upcoming research paper is a comparison of the women in three literary works: Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” Susan Glaspell’s Trifles, and Henrik Isben’s A Doll House.

Theories are many but two mane currents of thought arise. One group of the investigators believes that the book is supposed to be a psychological thriller while the other one is inclined to define it a detective novel and argue that a surprising ending was what Dickens had in mind. The genre debate leads us again to different endings.
