English Abstract

It has been made clear that Chopin has dealt with particular moral issues that are closely related to human life and character.

Her major views, which mostly concern those moral implications in which she believes and are, at the same time, revealed throughout her writings, fictional and otherwise, and are to amalgamate and prevail in her fiction.

This study attempts to highlight those moral implications that stand behind the writer's choice of themes and the kind of character that moves within the domain of this choice.

Chopin tackles themes related to feminism, sexual matters, and the pressures a woman may face during the course of her relationship with man as a husband or friend.

For instance Chopin's short story entitled ' The Storm' tackles the theme of how stormy hearts provoke the passion of illicit love on the part of a married woman and an old friend of hers.

' The Story of an Hour' reflects the emotional pressures and moments of freedom as related to the life of a selection of Chopin's fiction in terms of the moral responsibility that has prompted her to adopt such themes as those already mentioned.

Besides the analysis, this study displays a careful presentation of the ideas of those critics who have already given their points of view concerning this subject matter, whose opinions are, of course, indispensable and can by no means be overlooked.

Chapter Four is a conclusion in which all the findings of this study will be summed up.
