Story Chat: Let’s Discuss the Themes in Chopin’s Stories No unread replies. No replies. In this forum, discuss the themes you found in the Chopin stories you have read this week–“Desiree’s Baby” and the story you chose. Write at least 150 words about each story. Name each story– Discuss the themes and the story’s impact on Chopin’s society. Don’t try to make them apply to our society today. Our society is much more open that Chopin’s society ever dreamed one could be! Consider this question: Why did Chopin write each story, and what was its impact on her society? You might consider these themes (but talk about others you see in the stories, too): women’s search for self-discovery or identity. women’s revolt against conformity, often against gender conformity or against social norms that limit women’s possibilities in life.
