PLOT SUMMARY:  What do women really want?  The Grammardog Guide to CHOPIN SHORT STORIES features sentences from the short stories in 16 grammar, style and proofreading quizzes that reinforce plot, characters and themes.  The stories set in 19th century Louisiana examine women’s struggle for personal identity in the situations of courtship, marriage, divorce, motherhood, mixed-race children, extra-marital affairs and widowhood.  Chopin’s tales explore characters who are feminine, strong and evolving even in the midst of inflexible culture and tradition.  The author’s deft style creates a lush, soft and seductive background full of flowers, music and laughter in contrast to the bold feminist visions she chronicles.  Chopin’s stories are concise, subtle, powerful and beautiful.
