Blog #1- Story of an Hour

In the story The Story of an Hour Kate Chopin describes Mrs. Mallard as not being in the best medical condition and then she gets the news that her husband Richard has been "killed". She begins to reminisce about her life. she begins to explain one side and another side all at once with contradicting sentences. while saying "patches of blue sky" and "spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own" in a different line. she realizes that her life is so much better and its a new beginning a new chapter in her life. with this in mind she opens the door for Josephine and began to go downstairs and in the door walks in her husband alive not dead as she thought and that is what killed her. the irony in this story is interesting and makes the story worth reading making the reader want to finish reading the story.

  1. Your right, it was a beginning of a new chapter for her, she was praying that her life be long. At first you think the death of the husband wouldve killed her but it was the life she was looking forward on having that killed her.
