Pep has to find his manhood and his right to have that. The main characters trying to find their own identities are maim focal points that Steinbeck creates in each of the stories.
Control is also another strong element Steinbeck creates in both of these stories. Elise is under complete control by not only one man but two, her husband does not recognize her worth as a person, does not give her independence, and keeps her served on his ranch.

Although this task for Pep is restrictive he sees HTH as the beginning of him becoming a man, and finally getting out from under his mothers wing.

To every story there must be an ending, unfortunately not every story has a happy ending.

Wright lived a strange and lonely marriage, no communication between the two. Having no one to talk to, leads a person to isolate themselves. This quote shows the readers that Mrs. Wright felt very lonely when her husband was away at work. John Steinbeck shows us that women often struggle to successfully express oneself, and fail, on the part of others to fulfill one 's emotional needs. Even though her job maintaining the chrysanthemums might seem boring and unsatisfying she still finds passion in growing them.
After being released from prison Hester goes into the woods and finds a place " on the outskirts of town, within the verge of the peninsula, but not in close vicinity to any other habitation, there was a small thatched cottage This is showing that the cottage was isolated but, not totally isolated so that it would hide Hester from the rest of the world.
Hawthorne uses the isolated village to show her position among the Puritans who have neglected her for committing a sin.

Capturaron a cecilia despues que ella mato a bruno. Steinbeck displays an extraordinary ability to delve into the complexities of a woman's consciousness. After the first few paragraphs that set the scene, Steinbeck shrugs off omniscience and refuses to stray from Elisa's head.
This technique allows him to examine her psyche and show us the world through her eyes. We are put in her shoes and experience her frustrations and feelings. Because she doesn't know what Henry is discussing with the men in suits who come to the ranch, we don't know either. Because she sees the tinker as a handsome man, we do too. Because she watches his lips while he fixes her pots, we watch them with her. As a result, we understand more about her longings and character by the end of the story than her husband does.
Steinbeck's portrayal of Elisa seems even more remarkable considering that he wrote the story in , when traditional notions of women and their abilities persisted in America.
Many men unthinkingly accepted the conventional wisdom that working husbands and a decent amount of money were the only things women needed. Considered in this light, Steinbeck's sympathy and understanding for women are almost shockingly modern. On the face of it, Elisa seems to invite the disapproval of traditional men: she is overtly sexual, impatient with her husband, and dissatisfied with her life. Yet Steinbeck never condemns her and instead portrays the waste of her talent, energy, and ambition as a tragedy.
Instead of asking us to judge Elisa harshly, he invites us to understand why she acts the way she does. As a result, his attitude toward her is more characteristic of a modern-day feminist than of a mid-twentieth-century male writer. Yes, "The Chrysanthemums" is told in the third person, but the narration is presented almost entirely from Elisa's point of view. At the end? Shakespeare was a person. Log in.
Flower Gardening. Study now. See Answer. Best Answer. He throws her chrysanthemum sprouts onto the road. Then, skillfully, he returns to the subject of her chrysanthemums. His ignorance about flowers — and his interest about the chrysanthemums — soothe Elisa's irritation. Child-like, she confesses that she alone can raise such giant white and yellow flowers.
But he gambles too quickly that he has wholly charmed her, however, for she sharply retorts that her chrysanthemums do not have a nasty smell, and he is quick to agree with her that the flowers have a good, if bitter, smell — one that he likes. Leaning ever farther across the fence, the stranger offers to be a messenger for her, offering to carry's Elisa's chrysanthemums to a woman who also appreciates beauty but whose garden lacks chrysanthemums.
This woman has begged the stranger to bring her any if he ever happens to discover some and, now miraculously he has found some. His appeal to Elisa makes her overly generous.
She explains fervently that chrysanthemums are very special flowers and require special rooting because of their lack of seeds. We sense that she imagines herself and the stranger forming a team. She will transfer some shoots into a pot and he will take them to be transplanted. Together they will create a new small world that was devoid of chrysanthemums. He inquires if the flowers will be as beautiful as she promises and she impetuously tears off her battered hat, repeating the word "beautiful" and loosens her dark, pretty hair, exposing her loveliness.
In a moment of exuberant trust, she urges the stranger to enter her garden. Elisa's new-found happiness becomes ecstatic. She runs excitedly to the back of the house and returns with a big red flowerpot.
Her once-protective gloves are now discarded and forgotten. No longer does she don them to avoid contact with the raw earth. She kneels before the stranger and digs into the soil with her fingers, pressing new starts of life into the sand and tamping around them with her knuckles. She explains to the stranger what must be done as she entrusts her prized chrysanthemums to him, and she promises that they will soon take root. Later, in the heat of midsummer they must be cut back to a length of eight inches above the ground before they erupt with buds.
Her zeal overwhelms her and then she suddenly stops. Her next set of instructions to him are difficult. They deal with nothing as rational and pragmatic as what she has been speaking of. Now she must attempt to share a knowledge that is private and almost mystical.
Speaking to the stranger intimately, she reveals that the true secret of her chrysanthemums lies in what she terms "planting hands. One must release one's instincts and allow one's fingers to selectively choose which buds are unnecessary. A loosened sense of procreation must be released to flow down into the finger tips while one sits back and watches the fingers, unimpeded and unchecked, pluck the buds until the rhythm of plucking and creating are joined and become one with the plant.
When one can achieve that harmony one cannot be wrong. Elisa's breasts swell passionately as she asks the stranger if he understands the primitive creation she has been speaking of.
The sensuousness of her husky voice and the erotic quality of her conversation about the chrysanthemums release his cautiousness. His interpretation of what Elisa has uttered about her flowers he translates into rough, dangerous language. He conjures before her certain nights when he has been alone and when the silence was black and when he felt the sharpness of the stars so keenly that when he rose up with his body, he was impaled on them. And he died — in their hot, sharp loveliness.
The language is frankly sexual — and successful — and his payoff occurs when Elisa hesitantly reaches from her kneeling position and allows her fingers almost to touch his trousers. The stranger does not have to demand any more from her. He has won her as surely as if his seduction had been physical. Above her, watching her crouching low, he reminds her coldly that such excitement is "nice," but not "when you don't have no dinner. Elisa is transformed. She scurries off to find a couple of old battered saucepans for him to mend and his manner now becomes professional.
Elisa ponders his skill with the anvil and the small machine hammer. She notices as his mouth grows sure and knowing, and she asks him where he sleeps, envying his carefree life, a way of living which most people believe to be impossible for a woman.
