One of the stories from this unit that evokes the most pathos is "The Chrysanthemums" by John Steinbeck. The story centers around Elisa Allen, a woman who is talented in tending to her chrysanthemum garden but ultimately feels confined and unfulfilled in her marriage. The moment when Elisa's chrysanthemum flowers, which represent her passion and longing for more in life, are discarded by the tinker without understanding their true significance is particularly poignant. This emphasizes Elisa's sense of loss and wasted potential, capturing a feeling of sadness and resignation that permeates the story.
