Maria Chapdelaine : A Controversial Text
Description
Critical analysis of Louis Hémon's novel, <i>Maria Chapdelaine</i>, sparked by the recent centennial of Hémon's birth (1880). Some descriptions of the novel's main character, Maria, and her choice between two suitors - one to remain in Canada, or one to leave for Massachusetts. Arguments in favor of a certain type of reading the novel, as well as of the character Maria's eventual choice, her reasoning, and what the author believes to be her self-empowerment. Contrasting interpretations from other literary scholars. Assumes some familiarity with the novel.
