The Personification of the Natural Aesthetics of the Night in Kate Chopin’s “The Night Came Slowly ” (1894)

Abstract

This article highlights that the manifestation of the emotional world of an individual can be expressed through the the reflection of the imagery of natural aesthetics as in American writer Kate Chopin’s short short story “The Night Came Slowly.” The narrator was sitting under the maple tree observing natural aesthetics and, thereby, diving into her sentimental world. Therefore, this article has a psychoanalytic evaluation within itself as the night had the personification of natural aesthetics. This emphasizes that the narrator was full of dark psychological perspective because of explaining the night with the creeping overview. Therefore, there was a strong interaction between the narrator and the personification of natural aesthetics. The night was a means for the narrator to write her inner monologue so that it was time to reflect her feelings as the night falls in slowly. As the narrator interacted with the night softly, she overviewed that it crept. Accordingly, the creeping one was not only the night but also the narrator herself, too, so that this expression implies how the narrator was remembering slowly her sad feelings. This short short story has within its very short context that the night was quite mysterious and reflected the deeper iceberg that strected within the emotional world of the narrator. Therefore, the limited wording of this short short story emphasizes that there are lots of unsaids more than the saids and it is significant to reveal the unsaids throughout repetitive reading.
