Abstract
This paper explains that Kate Chopin is recognized by many critics as one of the best regional writers who uses settings depicting circumstances common in the Deep South in the 19th century. The author points out that Chopin was more interested in the emotional development of her characters than social settings because, while many Southern writers romanticized slavery, Chopin generally presented her characters with a certain amount of dignity and focused on the interior life of the individual rather than slavery as a social issue. The paper concludes that Kate Chopin's stories help us understand the power of culture and the way it operates on many levels; her Southern locales add richness to her stories and allow us to comprehend the society in which she lived and wished to depict.

From the Paper
"After her husband's death, Chopin returned to St. Louis where she published her first novel at the age of 39. Her stories reflect the environment she was accustomed to, specifically the Acadians and the mid-Louisiana parishes of Natcitoches and Avoyelles. Collar (2003) maintains that Chopin was what we would call a "New Woman". She was independent and supported herself financially. Her personal experiences undoubtedly paved the way for the independent female characters we encounter in many of her stories."
