Elisa of The Chrysanthemums

"Why - why Elisa ... You seem to be strong enough to break calves on your knees and eat it like a watermelon and be happy." (Steinbeck 232) An unskilled man tells a compliment I will try it, but that is the truth. In "chrysanthemum" Elisa is the wife of the farm and the only enthusiasm in her life is in her gardening. Her husband Henry owns a farm and forget the monotony of Elisa's life. Throughout the story, Henry was outside and did not truly understand Eliza and her feelings.

The most important symbol of this story is the chrysanthemum that represents Elisa. Like Elisa, the chrysanthemum is now dormant and naked, it never blooms. Like Elisa, they are confined to a narrow environment (garden) and can not escape. They are beautiful and decorative flowers, but there is no useful function other than this decorative flower - as a woman Elisa can not exceed a limited range of tasks, of course, no one can make her independent You can not or prepare yourself

John Steinbeck 's "Chrysanthemum" John Steinbeck explains Elisa Allen in "The Chrysanthemums" with his own language and behavior only. From these, the reader gathers Elisa 's power, leaning and desire; her way of talking about her chrysanthemum not only shows her confidence but also expresses her way to compensate for the intimacy of her marriage. But at the end of the story, the reader noticed that Elisa was completely different, and it marked her epiphany influence on her.

The analysis of the role of Elisa Allen by John Steinbeck 's "The Chrysanthemums" captures the day of a woman' s life enthusiastic about living a more fulfilling life. Elisa was first drawn as a woman whose work exceeded her ability. Over time, strangers easily entered into their lives, filled with hope for change and excitement through the operation of words. When Elisa finally realized that she had gotten used to it, we learned that these new discoveries' hopes were overwhelmed.
