In "The Chrysanthemums," Elisa is an unhappy woman. Although her husband is not an unkind man, he does not value her enough. He does not believe her to be very intelligent, and she is always relegated to the background. Moreover, he is not a loving partner. Elisa feels trapped in her life, and her only pleasure are her chrysantemums. Just like Elisa, the flowers are strong and beautiful, but they are trapped in her home.
