While she knows that her husband was not a bad man and that “she knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind tender hands folded in death”, she also knows that she will be glad to get out of his controlling grasp. She shows us how happy she is to be free from his influence when she thinks to herself, “there would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself.” (Chopin). She breaks the restraints that her husband put on her as she comprehends that she can "live for herself" instead of living the life that her husband wants her to (ebscohost). While it was through terrible circumstances, she has finally freed herself from having to do whatever her husband deems appropriate. It was this revelation that finally killed her at the end of the story. Realizing that she had finally gained that true freedom from her husband and having that freedom taken away from her, along with the fact that she still loved her husband but was at peace with his death, was too much to bear, and the pain of it ended up killing

Her first love follows her throughout her life as every time she finds herself in a situation with another man, the Vesuviana polka, the last song she danced to her husband with, plays in her head. The music in her head represents her unwillingness to let go of her past and her own dreamlike world. It signifies her growing madness that will materialize by the end of the play. Her inability to face reality ultimately leads to her downfall as her desire to feel comfort and intimacy after the traumatic event is misinterpreted by society, making her a social pariah.

When she’s in the mental hospital, she contemplates suicide very carefully and ends up slitting her wrists unsuccessfully. She considers it because she believes it is the answer to end all of her pain. Her almost successful attempt of overdosing on pills doesn't work out for her, and is significant because she has attempted suicide many times and seems very determined, because it is one of her most prominent character traits, but is still unable to do

Women have to worry about the economic situation and deal with pain and preoccupation as well. This connote constant suffering and preoccupation. Women have to work as hard as they can, but at the same time they have worry about their sons, husbands and fathers who were fighting in different fronts. Rosa Huberman, after Hans’s goodbye, did not lose hope; furthermore, she keeps living and praying for him. It was pain about missing but women cannot express at all because more people depend on her, particular their children “The accordion must have ached her, but she remained”(474). The chaos about saying goodbye is tragic and nostalgic women have to life feeling insignificant because they cannot save lives. Rosa’s pain is clear evidence of the torture that women pass through. Zusak asserts with the emotions and the devotion that women feel for their relatives and other who were fighting. Just as losing one closer member was devastating women deal with multiples parting and with tragic news as well, for all this cases death was the carrier “she had see her brother die with

Louise Mallard is Kate Chopin short story's protagonist. As noted earlier, Louise has a heart trouble during the time when her friends are to break her husband's death news to her. She reacts to the news despite her heart condition with a flood of grief. She quickly retreats to her room which indicates repressiveness which she is accustomed to. She briefly feels guilt out of experiencing joy at the freedom which is brought by the death of her husband. She is later faced with some complex mix of love and resentment emotions which are elicited by the thoughts of Brently's tenderness with absolute control of her life from her husband. She ultimately welcomes her independence which she has newly found and then takes on the newly self-possessed individual's life.

She meets the teenager and he turns her thinking around. He makes her think different, feel different, as well as feel better. She now believes and wants a life.
