The Story of an hour

Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour” illustrates the role of women in the 1800’s; Ms Mallard is an ideal example of how a typical woman was in that time period. A typical woman who had no rights and says in anything, someone who was just there to be the maid of the house and to do as their husbands had said. Not educated, and oppressed by there husbands treated as if they were not humans but as property.

Ms. Mallard hears of a tragic incident which causes her husbands death, at first she seems to be in shock but inside she is filled with joy. She finally has the sense of freedom the she long waited for. After hearing that her husband has passed, Mrs. Mallard goes to be alone in her bedroom. She is there for only an hour, but in this hour, her life seems to change. She feels as though she should be sad that her husband is no longer with her, but she cannot deny that joy that she feels. “Free, free, free!” (pg.496). the word free to Ms. Mallard meant more then just happiness it meant independence and free will to do and to live her life they way she wanted to. Not to have been controlled by her husband anymore, no more of taking orders and trying to be a perfect wife. Ms Mallard thinks in her mind “There would be no one to live for during those coming years, she would live for herself (pg.528).

The relationship men and women had in the 1800’s are completely different. In the 1800’s women had no rights and they were treated basically as maids in my opinion, Women were not educated and compelled to do housework and trained to be the perfect wife and mother. Women were responsible for taking care of the household cooking, cleaning and take care of the children. The freedom she achieves from the death of her husband is brings a new meaning to her life she is beginning to imagine the perfect life she wanted without her husband. The excitement she felt was so overwhelming that it was also became the cause of her death. She dies right there in front of him, the minute he comes home and she realizes that all of this would go away, and that her life would return to normal. The doctors said that she had died of “joy that kills,” (pg. 497) implying that Mrs. Mallard had been so happy to see her husband alive, that she died.

In today’s society times have changed, women have rights and they have become more independent. Women are educated and they make their own choices, women are no longer treated as property of men and trapped inside their homes. Women have the right to seek divorce and have equal opportunity it is no longer a man’s world.Can someone please give me feed back on this short story analysis?
You have to talk about how spring is symbolic and how when she looks outside her window what she sees makes her realize her freedom.
