The causes that led to the raised mercury levels in Srinivasan’s house were a concatenation of events. Firstly, Mr. Ashoke Srinivasan’s mother, Savithri, visited during the Pongal festival, creating tension due to her strained relationship with her daughter-in-law Rama.

In Kate Chopin’s story, the women are portrayed as dependent persons who are denied from experiencing the outside world. The first time the protagonist’s real name is used is when she is alone in the room as if in front of people and in public, a woman’s identification comes from her married name. Women are seen being denied of their rights and independence once they are married. They live under the shadow of their husbands as seen in Louise, who is able to think of freedom only after her husband’s death. A woman is expected to wail at her husband’s death, refusing to believe the news, irrespective of the fact whether the marriage was a happy one or not. But that is not the case of Louise, who seemed relieved at her husband’s death as that’s the only way women like her could regain their lost freedom.

The short story A Letter to God is about the innocence of a poor farmer who becomes a victim of natural calamity. The author in this short story throws light on two important things:
Lencho being uneducated has too much belief in God. For him God is on earth and one can easily have a discussion with Him or even can ask for help. Hence he writes a letter to Him seeking His help.
The employees are moved by the innocence of Lencho and thus collect money for him so that him belief in God may remain firm. The irony of the story is that he takes the postmen as thieves as he thinks that they have stolen his money. Thus blind-faith is a dangerous thing
We have discussed above that Lencho is uneducated. However the poet highlights how common corruption is in the society that even illiterate and innocent people like Lencho are also well aware of this social evil.

Kate Chopin’s story, “The Story of an Hour” is a clear representation of feminism, especially withholding the lives of women in the 19th century. The story moves ahead from the point of view of a female protagonist, Louise Mallard. Her desire for freedom, minutes after realizing her husband is dead, shows how women back in the 19th century were denied to be free. A patriarchal mindset overrules the will of women and within that one hour, Louise has a glimpse of a life free from societal expectations and norms, a life all women desires. The desire to rebel against marriage is mirroring the ideal thoughts of women, who faced toxic marriages in the 19th century. For a woman, marriage is not always a priority but the free will to do anything is mandatory. The quest for to find oneself and regain freedom is shown through the character of a repressed woman Louise Mallard.
