Kate is said to have escaped the romance with Albert Sampite by fleeing Cloutierville to go and live with her mother in St. Louis. Marianne also refuses to be dependent of any man after "having been someone else's other for so long" and, as such, "she now rejects any realm of patriarchal dominance and chooses, instead, herself." (Martin 73-74). It is possible that Chopin would have wanted the same thing. However, we know she sold her home in Cloutierville only many years after she moved with her mother, so chances are she might have gone back to meet with Sampite throughout the years. But there really is no conclusive evidence to support such a fact.

What we can observe is that Kate Chopin's characters often seem to resemble her own desire for personal freedom anticipated in a journey that starts right from the moment when women are able to set aside any obligations they feel society may impose unto them and undergo a process of transformation that culminates with self -- acknowledgement.

In this respect, Kate Chopin was able to take reality such as it was, the reality of nineteenth century women and, for that matter, the whole history of women's social role and represent the nature of it by relying on a strong connection between literature and human experience. Indeed, it is through writing that she managed to keep her independency unaltered by the society she lived in. That happened both in a literal sense and metaphorically. Literal, because publishing allowed for a financial support of her family and metaphorical, because she was able to breathe her experience into artistic creation.
