Communism In Kate Chopin's The Story Of An Hour

Chopin first creates the character of Louise having heart trouble allowing the reader to anticipate something unpleasant happening. The heart trouble allows readers to infer Louise having trouble in love or a relationship. Another important detail the author gives is when Louis hears about her husband's "death." Louise feels immediate abandonment and skips denial in the grieving process. Louise never once questions her husband's death leading to her feeling of freedom.

In “The Story of an Hour,” the author, Kate Chopin, places several literary writing elements into her short story. However, one of the most prominent would be the character analysis of Louise Mallard, the story’s protagonist. Kate Chopin uses situations and events throughout the story to mold the emotions and thoughts of Mrs. Louise Mallard. Despite the eighteenth century’s idea that women should willingly give up their lives for their husbands, Louise’s mindset after hearing of her husband’s passing shows otherwise. Moreover, Mavis Chia-Chieh Tseng wrote an analysis of Mrs. Louise and concluded, “after hearing the news of her husband’s untimely passing, the protagonist, Mrs. Louise Mallard, is grief-stricken at first, but soon other thoughts creep into her mind” (29). This statement validates the belief that Louise Mallard responds differently than people, such as her sister Josephine, would expect her to react in the unfortunate situation that has been placed upon her. Kate Chopin portrays Louise Mallard’s character as a strong and independent, yet deeply troubled woman struggling to live in an unhappy and restricting marriage during the late eighteenth century, when women had little to no personal freedom.

With this information, Mrs.Mallard believes her desire for autonomy is gone. In the end, this crushing disappointment may have paved the way for the death of Louise.

The author does not offer a description of the characters or the setting, it starts directly with a statement that dives the reader right into the story “knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband´s death”.
