Speaking of the theme of the story, she remarks "when the reader comes face to face at last with the little governess and realizes that the guarding ghosts and children are only exquisite dramatizations of her little personal mystery acting out her story in her troubled mind."(210) This was by far my favorite quote, as it completely describes the truth in the novel.

- 2186: Story Of An Hour 2
- ... with marriage seemingly is very similar to Mrs. Mallard's, as the role of "wife" was fine for Chopin until her husband pasted away. After several years, Chopin finally started to express her feelings through writing and wishes other women should learn of the "evils" of marriage. Thus I can conclude, at some point Chopin had a similar experience to Mrs. Mallard's and thus she modeled this story partly after ... back to the confines of marriage would be killing the life and heart of Louise, thus death is the only solution and of course the "heart condition" foreshadowing an impending death. Chopin utilizes a unique writing style to express her satirical plot. Through symbolism and first person perspective we see her "new thinking" and the apparent reason for death. Yet at the same time, the characters in the story have no ... their feelings, as they did not think about her, rather it was her husband, the man, that Louise died for. In conclusion, I enjoyed Kate Chopin's "Story of an Hour" and found her unique writing style beautiful. It is very deceptive, only shedding its secrets through vague symbolism and implications.

However, fear of ... end, it is the environment itself -- comprised of the Blue Hotel, Sculley, Johnnie, Cowboy Bill, the Easterner, and the saloon gambler -- that traps him (Stallman 488).

Similar to the biblical Three Wise Men (Stallman 487), three individuals out of the East came traveling to Palace Hotel at Fort Romper. The issue explored ... in contrast to the safe haven of the hotel, the reality is that "hell" turns out to be the red-lighted town saloon where the Swede is eventually murdered.
