During the summer, she meets Robert Lebrun, her friend and lover later in the novel. However, in “The Story of an Hour,” Mrs. Millard learns the death of her husband and is joyful

Birds as a Symbol in Different Settings The Awakening, written by Kate Chopin, focuses around Edna’s ambition to seek individuality.
