The_Story_Of_An_Hour

The Story Of An Hour “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin gives us a very interesting look at how an hour can be such a long time. This story is filled with irony. Every time that you think that you have the plot figured out, Chopin tosses in another twist that throws our minds for a loop. As I read this story the first time I thought how strange, but as I read it again and again I started pick up bits and pieces of what the author was trying to convey. When I first began reading the story I believed Mrs. Mallard to be an older woman. I thought this because we are told that she is afflicted with a heart trouble. I realize that having heart trouble does not ultimately mean old, but that is just the way our minds work. I was surprised to find that Mrs. Mallard was actually a young woman, described as having “a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression.” She was young in age, but did she feel old' Did she feel that her life meant nothing' We find out the answers to these questions story, hour, mallard, chopin, often, very, time, stories, mrs, having, free, find, twist, read, out, marriage, life, kate, heart, face, author, young, wyatt, wrote, work, woman, ultimately, trouble, towards, told, thought, strange, started, something, society
