Summary: “The Night Came Slowly “by Kate Chopin is a narrative that reflects on a woman’s admiration for the night. She has lost her interest in books and men and feels that the night can speak and teach her more than a either of them could. She is fascinated by the attributes of the night and what it can show her. Thesis: In her narrative “The Night Came Slowly”, Kate Chopin’s narrator transmits that it is better to interact with the night and its elements rather than with human beings.

The main character speaks very highly of the night. In the narrative she says, “The night is solemn, and it means mystery.” By describing the night as solemn, the darkness allows her to see the night as something that should be valued and admire even though is dark which is why she describes it as a mystery. The Darkness of the night allows for there to be mystery, looming as so much can happen in the night without being seem in comparison to daytime. Here we see an instance of personification as the night is being compared to the “fool” human as described above. The main character sees the night in such a way that is better than a human. She isolates herself to allow for her to be alone and encompass herself in the night as it is her preference.
