This article is devoted to analyzing plot dynamics in Kate Chopinʼs novels “The Awakening” (1899) and “At Fault” (1890). It explores how, in late 19th -century American literature, traditional event-centered narratives gradually began to be replaced by plots focused on depicting the charactersʼ inner lives. The aim of the study is to determine how Chopin develops the plot through psychological portrayal and how inner experiences, such as stream-of-consciousness, function within the narrative. The research tasks include identifying the stages of plot transformation, analyzin g internal conflict and the process of self -discovery, and examining the interaction between external events and subjective experience. The study employs narratological, psychoanalytic, and hermeneutic approaches as its main methods. The findings indicate that The Story of an Hour retains plot elements based on external events, but the development of these events is centered on the moral principles and psychological states of the characters. In “The Awakening”, the plot is entirely centered on stream-of-consciousness, with the protagonistʼs psychological growth serving as the driving force that shapes the unfolding of events. In conclusion, Chopinʼs novels demonstrate a significant shift from portraying specific events to a paradigm focused on representing t he charactersʼ inner worlds, highlighting her contribution to modern literature.
