The Chrysanthemums
In “The Chrysanthemums” by John Steinbeck the main character, Elisa is projected as a character of great talent and energy but is overshadowed by the expectations of a woman and what role she should play in her society. Elisa goes through a variety of emotions and because of her passion for her garden full of chrysanthemums she has enabled herself to be taken advantage of without her even realizing. ...
While Elisa is tending to her chrysanthemums very carefully, a man approaches her house in a wagon and then makes his way to the gate of Elisa’s garden. ... He then starts to talk about her chrysanthemums. ... She had just given away a part of herself but as the wagon rode away, she was left with her reality of living in that remote area with just her husband and her chrysanthemums. ...
The theme of male dominance in “The Chrysanthemums” is clearly depicted throughout the story.
