Critical Analysis

Throughout time, myths have been created and maintained for varying reasons. Some myths may be created primarily for social or political purposes,

such as The Aeneid and Children of the Sun. Some myths are created to explain man’s actions and responsibilities during natural events, as in

Demeter and Persephone. Still others explore the strengths or weaknesses of the human spirit, such as Esfandyar and Caught by a Hair-String.
Instructions:
In this project, you will explore the perspectives that myths bring to human life, and how human perspectives affect the way we see myths. Using one

of two approaches – a single myth or a single theoretical viewpoint – you will explore the facets of myth making and myth perpetuation that we

discovered in this course.
You may use the same sources that you submitted in your annotated bibliography, if applicable.The link below provides precise guide and instructions

for writing the critical analysis, and suggestions for writing your final project.
Instructions for the Final Project
(Last time – this is exactly what I am looking for in this assignment!)
• View the “Guide to Writing the Final Project” below for precise instructions for writing the essay.
• Select one of the following two approaches below for your essay:
o Single myth: In this project, you will take one of the myths that we have covered in the course, and examine the myth using 2-4 theoretical

approaches to mythology that were covered in Module 1 (feminist, anthropological, Marxist, psychological, archeological). That is, you will be

examining one myth from several perspectives.
OR
o Single theoretical viewpoint: In this project, you will choose one theoretical approach and show how the myths support that approach. You

will also show the consistency that the perspective of this theoretical approach brings to the interpretation of the myths across time and space.
In the essay:
• Evaluate how society makes use of myth making. Consider why myths were propagated from generation to generation, and why they are still

potent in the present.
• You may explore how myths develop alongside a culture – influenced by the changing society, and in turn how the myths alter society OR
• You may examine why myths that seem to explain the creation of humanity, the structure of a particular society, the universe. Examine how

this may be happening now – what paradigms / themes/ are resurrected in modern times?
• Identify and share to what extent mythology is involved in life today; for instance, what motifs from ancient myth are used, what ideals and

values from the myths are reflected in the modern work.
• Convey what you have learned and the connections you have made. You must support your own connections with expert opinions (a minimum of 4

outside references). Be sure to give credit to the outside sources even if you do not quote directly! Use proper formatting, either APA or MLA for

citations.
• Submit it to the Module 6 Final Project assignment in the Dropbox no later than the last day of this Module. If you adhere to all

guidelines, you can expect this essay to be at least 5 pages.
Guide to Writing a Final Project Essay:
These are the essential elements that I will be looking for in your essay. Be sure to also refer to the “Instructions for Writing the Final Project”

above. You will be constructing your own connections in this essay, but you must include references to at least 4 sources outside the textbook.

Further, you must use specific details from the myths to support your statements.
• Introduction with thesis statement Choose one of the two approaches (a single myth or a single theoretical approach) and identify it in the

thesis statement,
• 5-6 body paragraphs – Relying on expert sources, develop a consistent treatment of the connection between the perspectives that the theories

of mythology offer with the myth(s) that we have covered in the course. Concentrate on connections, providing details from the myth(s) in our

textbooks. There are two elements that you are to avoid at all costs: 1, do not retell the story of the myth, and 2, do not explain what the

theoretical perspective is. Why? Because both of these are already known and this project is showing what you are bringing new to the table.

Consider the impact that a perspective has on how a reader/listener reacts to the myth, and what he or she will therefore take from the myth.

Further, look at how the ancient myths thus interact with modern culture. The body paragraphs should be 6-8 sentences long.
• Conclusion – Your conclusion will represent a brief (very brief!) summary of the key points of your essay or an overarching justification

for your assessment of the connection between myth and theory.
Be sure to include documentation within your text as appropriate, as well as a Works Cited page.
Note:
• Formatting: MLA or APA
• Points Possible: 70 pts
• Length: 5-6 pages

SSST
SssssSTORY of
The Story of an Hour” is a short story centering on a young married woman of the late nineteenth century as she reacts to a report that her

husband has died in a train accident.
Publication
…….Vogue magazine first published “The Story of an Hour” in its issue of December 6, 1894, under the title “The Dream of an Hour.” On

January 5, 1895, Sue V. Moore, a journalist friend of Chopin, reprinted the story in St. Louis Life, a newspaper of which Moore was editor. Over

the years, it was republished again and again in literature anthologies under the title “The Story of an Hour.”
Setting
…….The action takes place in a single hour in an American home in the last decade of the nineteenth Century.
Observance of the Unities
…….The story observes the classical unities of time, place, and action. These unities dictate that the events in a short story should take

place (1) in a single day and (2) in a single location as part of (3) a single story line with no subplots. French classical writers,

interpreting guidelines established by Aristotle for stage dramas, formulated the unities. Over the centuries, many writers began to ignore

them, but many playwrights and authors of short stories continued to use them.
Characters
Mrs. Louise Mallard: Young, attractive woman who mourns the reported death of her husband but exults in the freedom she will enjoy in the years

to come.
Brently Mallard: Mrs. Mallard’s husband.
Josephine: Mrs. Mallard’s sister.
Richards: Friend of Brently Mallard.
Doctors: Physicians who arrive too late to save Mrs. Mallard.
Plot Summary
By Michael J. Cummings…© 2006
.
……..Brently Mallard has died in a train accident, according to a report received at a newspaper office. Mr. Richards, a friend of Mallard,

was in the newspaper office when the report came in. He tells Mallard’s sister-in-law, Josephine, of Mallard’s death, and accompanies Josephine

to the Mallard home. Because Mallard’s wife, Louise—a young, attractive woman—suffers from a heart condition, Josephine announces news of the

tragedy as gently as possible.
…….Mrs. Mallard breaks down, crying fitfully, then goes upstairs to a room to be alone. There she sits down and gazes out a window, sobbing.

It is spring. Birds sing, and the trees burst with new life. It had been raining, but now patches of blue sky appear.
…….Suddenly, an extraordinary thought occurs to Mrs. Mallard, interrupting her grieving: She is free. She is now an independent woman—at

liberty to do as she pleases. Because Mrs. Mallard seems to feel guilty at this thought, she tries to fight it back at first. Then she succumbs

to it, allowing it to sweep over her. She whispers, “Free, free, free!”
…….To be sure, she will cry at the funeral. However, in the years to come, she will know nothing but joy and happiness, for there will be

“no powerful will bending her” to do its bidding. Of course, she had loved her husband. Well, sometimes. On other occasions, she had not loved

him at all. But what does it matter now, she thinks, whether or how much she had loved her husband? The important thing is that she is free.
…….Worried about her sister, Josephine pounds on Mrs. Mallard’s door, begging entry. But Louise, saying she is all right, tells her to go

away. Mrs. Mallard then resumes her revelry about the wondrous future before her—all the days that will belong to her alone. Only yesterday she

wished that life would be short; now she wishes that life will be long.
…….At length, she answers the door and goes downstairs with Josephine. At the bottom of the stairs, Mr. Richards stands waiting while

someone is opening the front door. It is Brently Mallard. There had been a mix-up. He was not in the accident, or even near it, when it

occurred. Josephine shrieks. Richards quickly moves in front of Brently to prevent Mrs. Mallard from seeing him. But it is too late.
…….Physicians later determine that Mrs. Mallard’s death resulted from “joy that kills.” Her weak heart could not withstand the happy shock

of seeing her husband alive and whole.

.
Theme
Oppression
…….Society in late nineteenth century expected women to keep house, cook, bear and rear children—but little more. Despite efforts of

women’s-rights activists such as Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony, women still had not received the right to vote in

national elections by the century’s end. Moreover, employers generally discriminated against women by hiring them for menial jobs only and

paying them less than men for the same work. The Story of an Hour hints that Mrs. Mallard’s husband—perhaps a typical husband of his day—

dominated his wife.
Repression
…….Louise Mallard appears to have been a weak-willed woman, one who probably repressed her desire to control her destiny. Consequently,

during her marriage, she suffered constant stress that may well have caused or contributed to her “heart trouble,” referred to in the first

sentence of the story.

Symbolism
Examples of symbols in the story are the following:
Springtime (Paragraph 5): The new, exciting life that Mrs. Mallard thinks is awaiting her.
Patches of Blue Sky (Paragraph 6): Emergence of her new life.
Joy that kills (Paragraph 23): Paradox. The phrase is also ironic, since the doctors mistakenly believe that Mrs. Mallard was happy to see her

husband alive.

What’s in a Name?
…….Not until Paragraph 16 does the reader learn the protagonist’s first name, Louise. Why the author delayed revealing her given name is

open to speculation. I believe the author did so to suggest that the young woman lacked individuality and identity until her husband’s reported

death liberated her. Before that time, she was merely Mrs. Brently Mallard, an appendage grafted onto her husband’s identity. While undergoing

her personal renaissance alone in her room, she regains her own identity. It is at this time that her sister, Josephine, calls out, “Louise,

open the door!” However, there is irony in Mrs. Mallard’s first name: Louise is the feminine form of the masculine Louis. So even when Mrs.

Mallard takes back her identity, it is in part a male identity. (Michael J. Cummings, Cummings Study Guides)
Foreshadowing
…….The opening sentence of the story foreshadows the ending—or at least hints that Mrs. Mallard’s heart condition will affect the outcome of

the story. Morever, this sentence also makes the ending believable. Without an early reference to her heart ailment, the ending would seem

implausible and contrived.
Mrs. Mallard’s Heart Condition
…….As the story unfolds, the reader discovers that Mrs. Mallard’s heart ailment may have resulted—in part, at least—from the stress caused

by her reaction to her inferior status in a male-dominated culture and to a less-than-ideal marriage. For example, in paragraph 8, Chopin says

the young woman’s face “bespoke repression”; in paragraph 14, the author tells us that a “powerful will” was “bending” Mrs. Mallard. Finally, in

paragraph 15, Chopin notes: “Often she had not” loved her husband.
Author
…….Kate Chopin (1851-1904) is best known for her short stories (more than 100) and a novel, The Awakening. One of her recurring themes—the

problems facing women in a society that repressed them—made her literary works highly popular in the late twentieth century. They remain popular

today.
