“Story of an Hour” is structured short and very detailed to portray the emotional journey and realization Mrs. Mallard goes through while in her room. Kate Chopin illustrates the transition Mrs. Mallard undergoes as she stares out the window and observes the "new spring life, a delicious breath of spring rain is in the air, the clouds are parting to show patches of blue sky, and there are even the birds singing the bees" (115). In this moment Mrs. Mallard feels liberated from the chains society expects from her. Realizing she no longer has to love her husband and live her life next to him, she remembers that she is “young, with fair calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (115). As with Sammy, watching the girls break the rules releases his true feelings about his life. He realizes that there exists a life outside of the normal sheep he sees walking in the same direction down the aisle everyday. The thirst for a life that is unknown to them both excites…

I have read 'The Story of an Hour' by Kate Chopin and 'The Interlopers' by Saki, and have noticed they both have a few elements in common with one another. The main character in The Story of an Hour is Louise Mallards, a fragile hearted woman who has been just told her husband died. While reading, you would think Mrs. Mallards would grieve and mourn over her husband's death but that's one of the twists in the story. Mrs. Mallards does grieve at least a little and feel awful for her husband, but she also saw his death as an opportunity to do the stuff she always wanted to do. Her husband’s death gave her freedom. The story continues about her fighting against the urge to feel happy since it's not a very happy situation. Chopin's doesn't give…
