The short story “The Chrysanthemums” favors and differs from the story “The Necklace” in many different ways. Both of these stories are centered upon an unhappy marriage life. The wives of each story are unhappy with the way their husbands seem content with the same lifestyle. In “The Chrysanthemums”, a tinker comes to Elisa’s house at first annoying her with ransom question, but then opening her eyes to realizing she should not settle for being content and try harder to become happy with her life.

Secondly, having a close sexual relationship with a married man named Frank, makes her realize how much of an independent, strong woman she is. That is to say, Frank was a crucial factor in the process of Clara’s realization to become an adult. Finally, Clara completely adjusts her religious views which skew her opinions regarding many aspects within the community and the citizens in this society. With the attention to the time period of the late 1930’s which the novel is set in, this is a very peculiar and offensive act that she expresses considering the circumstances of strong religious views by all the citizens in Clara’s town of Whitfield, Ontario. Therefore the female protagonist, Clara Callan, is on an archetypal journey to transform herself into an adult and along the way she realizes her true potential and her true identity during the quest.
It is only when one hears pet names from someone one does not love that they are condescending, and until the climax of the play, Nora genuinely loves Torvald. We know this because she saves her husband’s life with a morally questionable act. This act may have ultimately led to the undoing of the marriage, but she does it “out of love” (209) nonetheless. Nora feels that Torvald has been kind to her, and she “thought it was fun when [Torvald] played with [her]” (249). And play they do.
Lydia plays an important role in the story despite the primary focus being on Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, and their love that develops throughout. Lydia is a foil to Lizzie in many ways; both on an individual level and in terms of their comparable relationships and eventual marriages. Lydia is “untamed, unabashed, wild, noisy and fearless”, and is constantly mocked by Austen in the form of comedy of manners. It is interesting that from the beginning of the story Lydia is made to sound like her mother; “Oh!” said Lydia stoutly, “I am not afraid; for though I am the youngest, I’m the tallest.” The exclamations, in a similar way to that of Mrs Bennet, suggests a lack of education and level of ‘air headedness’. Lydia is outspoken and completely self-absorbed, even though she is the youngest of the sisters, which foreshadows the trouble she will get into later on in the story.

Both Gwendolen and Cecily fall in love with Earnest but here once again we can see the difference between them, Cecily loved him because he was wicked as Jack described him, and Gwendolen on the other hand loved him because of his christian name. Cecilys simplicity is noticed one the way how she dresses as well even why she was wealthy and she could live the same way as Gwendolen, her dress is pretty simple and her hair very natural as Lady Barcknell describes her look in ACT 3 ( Lady Bracknell. [Sitting down again.]
By the time Bearing is a well-known professor, it’s apparent that wit and intellect are the most important aspects of her life. During her days of lecturing, Bearing is blunt and unsympathetic. She does not teach to help her students grow in literature but to showcase her own profound knowledge of John Donne’s poetry.
