Woolf vs. Chopin

After reading A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf and The Kiss by Kate Chopin, I have come to the obvious conclusion that their stylistic usage varies deeply. Woolf is complex, Chopin is simple. In Woolf's short story, her point of view seems to shift at sudden times, with no indication of it happening. I'm pretty sure there there's three (?) different characters she revolves around: the ghost couple, the house, and the living flesh couple that reside in the house. Even after reading the short story three times over, I still do not understand the objective or the resolution of the plot. All I know is that the ghost couple were searching for love aka their buried treasure (?) and the house was keeping it hidden from them aka the repetition of the phrase "safe, safe, safe" (?). On the other hand, Chopin is straightforward. The point of view is easy to follow; the conflict was obviously Harvy kissing the narrator in front of the her future husband, Brantain. Once again, there is also love in this short story and someone (or something) is trying to deprive the couple of that. The conflict is solved after the narrator discusses with Brantain about the misunderstanding and they end up getting married. Simple and only have to read the story once to comprehend all of the events. Both authors lived in the same era (late 1800s-early 1900s) so what gives? The answer is actually quite ironic in a way- they are using contrasting literary devices. Woolf focuses on the actual literary terms such as the parallelism, personification, and harsh imagery. While Chopin makes her plot and message strong, giving it more entertainment. Each author thought literature was something else. The missing link: literature is everything- the literary resources that provoke hard thinking and the sweet happy endings that make a reader have hope. Woolf and Chopin's backgrounds also differ from one another, which may give insight to their literature techniques. Woolf was institutionalized after having nervous breakdowns, therefore, giving her a more stable composure in the strict way of writing. While Chopin grew up reading fairy tales and having to live in poverty, so one may assume, she sometimes wrote short stories with a more peaceful plot and an effortless read. Both authors were equally amazing at achieving literature momentum, especially for deprived women in the early twentieth century. Personally, I don't favor either of the authors over the other one. I respect each of their personal writing choices and I definitely recommend both authors (but if you decide on Woolf, definitely be seated comfortable enough to sit there for an hour trying to decode her five-page story).
