The analysis emphasizes an integration of language and literature and draws upon theories developed in the general field of cognitive poetics/stylistics (Stockwell 2002; Gavins and Steen 2003). For the purposes of this research, using Stockwell’s model of Deictic Shift Theory (Stockwell 2002: 45-49), the analysis will investigate Chopin 's use of different types of deictic expressions and shows how such use guides the reader to be involved in the text world(s), leading to a better understanding/exploration of the characters and themes. The analysis reveals how the protagonist, Mrs. Mallard, searches for identity, freedom and the bright future after the husband’s death. This paper attempts to explore the
