SA 2: "The Chrysanthemums" is a short story of John Steinbeck which reflects the frustration in the present life of Elisa Allen, strong and proud woman. This frustration arises from not having a child as well as from the dissatisfaction in a romantic relationship with her husband. The only possible way out for Elisa's frustration is her beautiful flower garden where she plants chrysanthemums. The author frequently uses chrysanthemums as a symbol as well as a number of other items in order to more vividly represent the internal state of the protagonist. One of the most important symbols in the story are chrysanthemums which fairly represent Elisa. Similar to Elisa, chrysanthemums are limited to quite a narrow setting, particularly the garden, with no way to escape. These flowers are undoubtedly beautiful, however, do not serve any valuable function. The same applies to Elisa as she is unable to perform more than a limited set of duties and surely none of them would let her be completely independent or at least provide for herself. Also, it can be stated that chrysanthemums symbolize the children of Elisa. She watches over her garden and looks after the chrysanthemums with genuine care and love, exactly as she would care for her own children. "No aphids were there, no sowbugs or snails or cutworms" (Osborne). These flowers are representative of Elsa's children and she remains very proud of them. In addition, the Salinas Valley, where the plot is set, is also a symbol which…
