Later, I will investigate her use of symbolism in "Story of an Hour" and their' dual purposes (to the story and to Kate Chopin's life/how it relates to her) mainly dealing with marriage. After researching the life of Kate Chopin, her works do not seem so strange, in comparison with her life and grief. Seemingly death and ...
