Abstract
Investigation into the human being and a natural form through nineteenth-century American literature. In both Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome and Kate Chopin's The Awakening, the main characters are Othered from their societies due to social, economic, and gendered differences, with devastating consequences. This calls into question how we have engaged with our world, and made it inhabitable for the deviant human, over the course of the last two centuries.
