Kate Chopin was providing insight into Mrs. Mallard's personality. The exordium of 'The Story of an Hour' refers to Mrs....

I think the relationship in Seurat’s work, between the project to “restore painting’s cultural significance,” and the “mass culture” that he sought to address is the demonstration of alienation in his paintings of society. This theme greatly connects with two paintings by Georges Seurat, which are A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte, 1884-6. Oil on canvas and Chahut 1889-90, Oil on canvas. Seurat’s painting of the Grande Jatte shows women, men, and children from all classes...
