The Story Of An Hour
Pretty good story!!! My take is that Mrs. Mallard was confused about her marriage. When she had found out about her husbands death she was thrilled about the fact that she was finally free, than about the fact that he had died. After finding out the the death of her husband was a fake, her feelings were once again abruptly changed and it worried her in an unsatisfying way that she truly was never "free" and could take on the freedom in which she always wanted. I was surprised about the fact that in the end Mrs. Mallard had died and Mr. Mallard had lived. This to me in a way makes me believe that after somewhat being disappointed when Mrs. Mallard found out her husband was still alive her death was another way of her still being free.

Yes, Andrea, you could take her death that way--a rather grim comment on women's lives, at that time?
