    Throughout the three short stories “A Story of an Hour”, by Kate Chopin, “The Chrysanthemums”, by John Steinbeck, and “A Pair of Silk Stockings”, by Kate Chopin, lies a common thread that weaves the theme that in previous generations women were not permitted to indulge their pursuits and with it, their individual freedom and destiny.

Each protagonist became bewildered when they realized they spent their life in a haze of subjugation and were oblivious too until a simple thought allowed them to experience freedom they never knew they had.…
