Story of An hour

In The Story of an hour written by Kate Chopin, tells the story of the life of a woman named Mrs. Mallard, she received the bad news that her husband had died from a train accident reported by her sister Josephine with her husband's friend Richard, Josephine was hesitant to say the sad news because Mrs. Mallard was suffering from heart disease, most likely the situation would get worse when hearing this news. At first he reacts with an emotional response, then he asks for permission on both and immediately heads upstairs. After hearing the news of the sadness, she opened the window, then looked at the blue sky as if to touch his soul. She just stared blankly at the sky without expression. It was as if she felt she could touch the sky so that it could pass through the sounds that filled the sky.
Mrs. Mallard felt that her husband's death was a happy thing, as if she felt reborn into a world without pressure and suffering. This is contrary to the circumstances of every woman, if she is left by their partner will be sad but Mrs. Mallard just the opposite. Kate chopin explains the feeling of the protagonist before and after her husband dies. It all relates to the stress he experienced during his married life with Mr. Mallard, she lives like a prisoner. Although she lives in the nobility, even though she does not feel the affection of her husband.
Chopin does not describe thoroughly the life of this couple. Chopin only describes life before and after her husband died. more to describe the character of protogonis before her husband died. In the words "its lines bespoke repression" there is the fact that Mrs. Mallard was deeply distressed by his marriage and "certain strength" was a strengthening for Mrs. Mallard to keep it up.
The author considers that the real life of Mrs. Mallard was so ironic, how unhappy he was with his married life, he maintained it. It seems odd, Mrs. Mallard really loves her husband can still be here not explained that this noble couple during the life of marriage was never blessed with the world. So without children, Mr. Mallard busied himself with work.clarify the state of the figure who looks happy . This freedom relates to the pressures it faces during marriage, then Mrs. Mallard feels freedom when her husband is gone. However, the character described by Chopin is a form of instrument to prove that "marriage is a pressure" for women. Also not apart from the reality of the life of the author who never lived married life.
The whole picture of the story in the visible setting is just Mrs. Mallard, Chopin tells the story of the protagonist's protagonism is very happy and happy. And why he should behave like that. However, the author intends to show that Mrs. Mallard did not seem so sad about her husband's death, so the protons of the protogonist who did not seem happy with his marriage were pressured.

From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure—a ghostly couple.             “Here we left it,” she said. And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”                But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin.
