Biography of Kate Chopin response

Kate Chopin’s life was a Tragedy from beginning to end. Kate went through so much and lost a lot throughout her life. Kate’s life seems to affect her writing throughout her career.
Kate Chopin had a sad life. She lost her father at the age of five and a half and most of her family throughout. She was one of five children and was the only one to live past twenty-five. Her best friend was banished and her grandmother died the same year. She married Oscar Chopin in 1870 and he adored her. However, in 1882, Oscar died and Kate moved in with her mother, who died the next year. The she began to write to support herself and her family and became successful; however, this happy time didn’t last long either. Chopin was denied admission into the St. Louis Fine Art Club which broke her. After this blow she only wrote short stories until she finally stopped into the beginning of the twentieth century. Kate’s life was one long tragic story.
Kate’s stories, I believe, are loosely based on her life. She based “The Awakening” on a true story of a woman she knew. Her life and stories both have to ironic twist at the end when everything seems fine. In her story “The Story of An Hour” the widow had finally accepted her husband’s death and was looking forward to her day of freedom until ironically, he came back from the grave. This story is also related to her life by how the widow’s husband supposable was killed in a train accident but didn’t. I believe Kate wished that her father would appear and be safe just like the widow’s husband in her story. Her story “Desiree’s Baby” ended in death also and was ironic that the heroine killed herself for something that wasn’t her fault. Her stories were wildly affected by her life.
