In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour", and "Rope", many of the major conflicts revolve around problems within a relationship or marriage. Conversely, the authors provide stunningly different solutions to these problems in each instance. While Austen's romantic solutions are generally based on the significance of love, Kate Chopin feels the most successful way of dealing with such problems is by separation or disconnection. The unidentified author of "Rope", on the other hand, attempts to resolve differences by sensible communication. These authors thus illustrate that people deal with their relationship problems uniquely.
The two novels written by Jane Austen encompass several instances in which characters start to fall in love with each other, yet with very unstable beginnings. The most remarkable of the love stories is that of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice. Mr. Darcy is deeply in love with the originally uninterested Elizabeth, who dislikes him for the actions she thinks he has committed. However, driven by his strong love for her, he is not willing to give up so easily. He starts changing his ways to become the person she wants him to be and ultimately wins her affection over. A less analogous situation takes place in Sense and Sensibility amid Elinor Dashwood and Edward Ferrars. In spite of family intercessions and prior obligations, they find each other, and their relationship results in marriage with common exultation. Lastly, in Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bingley is separated by his family from his much-loved Jane because of her low social class. Following numerous moving, emotive proceedings, though, they"re reunited and married. Austen shows us how love can overcome any difficulties or obstacles because of the potency it carries. .
Kate Chopin, in her "Story of an Hour" suggests a more idealistic and radical tactic for resolving relational complications.
