Mrs Mallard Abandonment

I n the Story of an Hour, Kate Chopin gives us the feeling that Mrs. Mallard is unhappy in the by telling us “she was presses down by physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul” (227). We learn right off that Mrs. Mallard has a heart condition and should be treated tenderly. When she heard the news of her husbands death, she was at first upset and distraught. She did not begin to feel better until she had time to sit and think, with “the delicious breath of rain was in the air” (227). Mrs. Mallard felt lonely and did not know what to do with herself anymore. She realized that there would no longer be someone there with her to be there when her life expired. She often had the feeling that life was too long and that the end would never come for her. That was a sign that Mrs. Mallard was a lonely and isolated woman. She was sitting there in the chair when it came to her in a sudden rush. That she is “Free! Body and soul free” (228). Mrs. Mallard knew then that life was not short after all. Life was short and she should live it to the fullest. She is now free to do as she pleases. Mrs. Mallard has a feeling of freedom, freedom form the loneliness and isolation that she has felt for a very long time. She is now free to be herself

Her marriage also causes her to lose control. Even within the one thing that is supposed to hold strong, she is alone. Her husband, leaving her on a daily basis to work, insists that she cannot write nor visit friends and family. Thus, he leaves her alone during the day to sit

Mallard’s sad reaction, after she ponders on her initial emotions by herself, she learns that the relationship with her husband becomes irrelevant to the wonderful feelings of individual freedom. Initially, Mrs. Mallard grieves upon hearing her husband’s death. As the story progresses, Mrs. Mallard begins to develop her true emotions towards the death of her husband after reflecting in her room alone. Finally, Mrs. Mallard’s initial feelings of sadness are overpowered by her discovery of the feelings of freedom. In conclusion, although individuals may react dramatically when facing a sad situation, their emotions may change as a result of the discovery of a previously unknown feeling of

In “The Story of an Hour”, the main character Mrs. Mallard, gets news that her husband has been killed in an accident. Her sister delays telling her the news because she has a bad heart, but when she finally tells the news, Mrs. Mallard wants to be left alone. They think that she is very upset by her husband’s death, but

The irony of Mrs. Mallard’s response to the news of her husband’s death lies in the fact that her reaction did not constitute what a common reaction to death entails: extreme disbelief, prolonged heartache, and violent hysterics. When her sister Josephine breaks the news to Mrs.

Mrs. Louise Mallard never really had any freedom because she married young and was always confined in her home doing wifely duties“‘ Free! Body and soul free!”’she whispered this multiple times. Louise Mallard, has come the realization that her husband's passing was not only tragic, but also a beneficial cutting of her marital ties. The crisis of her grief has given her a new insight on life and she also understands that her marriage has limited her independence and freedom. Mrs. Mallard was very unhappy in her marriage and she barely loved her husband. “‘And yet she had loved him--sometimes”’ Mrs. Mallard was seeking freedom from her marriage because she was unhappy and when she found out her husband died she could feel the freedom she’s always

In the psychological lens, the brain is separated into three different parts. The three parts are the superego, the ego, and the id. The superego is the way society expects you to react to different problems and situations. The ego is the conscious decisions that you make. The id is your unconscious desires.

After all, Mrs. Mallard accepted her husband’s death even though her husband had pushed her to become depressed without knowing how bad he was actually treating having her as a housewife. She still died happy thinking that with her husband had passed away. Although she had never received the news about her husband still being alive and better than ever, she still thought that she was free and that her life head was full of hope and

Mrs Mallard's awkward attitude after learning of her husband's death establishes an irony- somebody who is really happy in marriage will not enjoy nature in peace and have mixed emotions; the person will feel genuine grief upon hearing of the death of her husband. Here, Mrs Mallard's reaction portrays the extent to which her thirst for freedom was strong. Kate Chopin allows us to visualise the moment that Mrs Mallard is able to shed the bondage of marriage: "free, free, free!." She feels liberated through her husband's death. Much emphasis is laid on her joy upon finding freedom- "there would be no one to live for." The author also points out that "she knew that she would weep again.....folded in death." This only highlights the fact that it is not an expression of love but seems more like a duty that

After reading this story, I didn’t feel very happy. Mrs. Mallard ‘s death was really a tragedy. From the story, we can find that Mrs. Mallard felt very constrained and depressed in her marriage. And she was desired to have freedom, was desired to be independent, was desired to have her own rights. In my opinion, this story was talking about the freedom of women.

Mallard has been told that she has lost her husband. This would be a loss no one could be prepared for. Secondly, she must have been through some tough times in her marriage to feel the feeling of freedom at the news of her husband’s death. The author mentions that she would no longer feel that, “powerful will bending hers.” We should feel sorry about the fact that she was neglected and possibly mistreated in her marriage based off of that statement.

The death of Victor has brought up emotional and behavioral responses from each family member. Isabelle and Victor were married for 53 years, so his death, of course, has been difficult for Isabelle and she is grieving. She quit her job at the department store because she was unable to concentrate. She can’t sleep through the night. Not only was Victor’s death traumatic, but dealing with the pancreatic cancer that led to his death was also traumatic for Isabelle and she continues to ruminate about Victor during the illness. She feels lonely and is afraid she will end up isolated and alone like the other widows in the neighbor, so she is thinking of moving in with Paul. Thoughts of her own death fill her mind.

Mrs. Mallard’s sister and acquaintances make an assumption that her husband has died in a railroad disaster. The sister was the one to tell Mrs. Mallard about her husband's terrible accident. The sister and acquaintances expect that Mrs. Mallard will be heartbroken at the thought of her husband being dead. Her sister would try to break the news “as gentle as possible”(Chopin 397). At first, Mrs. Mallard would crumbles with sadness at the thought of her husband being dead. She takes time alone in her room to think about the scenario handed to her. After short time she finds herself whispering “free” aloud. In the end she realizes she had not loved him as she thought she had, she was now free to live her life. All while she was shut in her room, her friends and family would be outside the door assuming she was sobbing and distraught at the thought of her loving husband being dead. Mrs. Mallard did not loved her husband in the way that her friends and family had assumed she had.

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”. Mrs. Mallard´s heart trouble will be a controversial issue during the story. It is the reason why she was told with such care and worry about the death of Mr Mallard and the reason why her sister panics when she leaves and locks herself in her room “open the door- you will make yourself ill”. Her heart trouble provides the story with a very interesting circular structure; it starts with a statement about her heart problems and it ends with an allusion to them, when the doctors say that she died of heart

Jennifer's life seems to be a perfect life to anyone outside the scenario, but in actuality she is suffering badly. She has gone through a very hard time, and overlapping hurdles in her life made her stressed both physically and mentally. There comes the first and the most root cause of physical stress in her life when she has to spend an hour daily to reach her marketing office. Physical stress mainly disturbs all the biological systems of the human body. There comes a huge grief in her life in the form of a miscarriage of her first child after marriage. A newlywed couple who is planning family; and after expecting for two months, when they come to know that their child has been aborted, naturally goes through a terrible shock. This same shock and grief come into Jennifer's life which disturbs her badly and also affected her health. Then repeatedly asking of Antonio's parents about her next pregnancy may also disturb her. Though they ask her of concern and that may be their way of showing sympathy to her, but for a woman who has lost her precious thing gets disturb on such questions. And that may arose feeling of deprivation in her that she lost her baby and do not know when she will get that again. Moreover, she had gone through another grievous moment two years before, that is, the death of her beloved mother. This incident had already created hollowness in her life, and now she is suffering from the tension of her father's
