Response to Chopin 's Story of an Hour

Kate Chopin 's Story of an Hour ' is interesting on many levels to its readers . The short drama begins with a woman hearing the news of her husband 's accidental death and ending with her own death . The irony in that alone is intriguing , but the most interesting aspect of the story is in the response that Mrs . Mallard has to the news of her husband 's death . She sits alone and weeps heavily for a

moment and then is enlightened . After her extremely short grieving period , Mrs . Mallard realizes that she is free . She never states that it is her husband 's love or even maybe rule that she is free from , but she relishes in her surroundings as a free ' person

I find it very interesting that there is no clear answer to the story Questions are left answered . Why did Mrs . Mallard die ? What was their relationship really like ? Did she love him ? Was he kind ? Why did they marry ? Did they have children ? What did Mrs . Mallard think she was going to do with the rest of her life without her husband ? Was she relieved when he walked through the door or was she disappointed ? The most important question that I thin of when I think of this story is what if this happened to me ? Can I place myself in her position ? It is very intriguing
