"Chrysanthemums" by John Steinbeck tells the story of Elisa Allen, a passionate and strong-willed woman living on a small farm in California during the early 20th century. She takes great pride in her beautiful garden, particularly her chrysanthemums, which symbolize her creativity and desire for growth. One day, a wandering tinker visits her, and their conversation stirs a longing within Elisa for a more adventurous life. As she reveals her dreams and aspirations, the interaction ultimately leads to feelings of disillusionment when she realizes her talents and desires are unrecognized by her husband and the world around her.
