Mrs. situation is most likely an unusual one. It is so well demonstrated that Mrs. devotion to her husband is not without limit. It seems that she has grown accustomed to her husband and remains with him out of stationary comfort and tradition. It’s obvious at this point that Mrs. has been liberated through her husband’ s misfortune.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

She went to her room alone to relieve her great  grief. But the imagery there indicated that she breathe a freah air and some  different feeling had occurred to her, which is the first change of her  emotion.    Second, Lousie's sister and Richard both thought that Mrs .Mallard was  too sad  when her received the news about the death of her husband, but they  wish her to overcome the event, as she came out of her room, as if she did a  challenge of herself, but as a matter of fact. That is just because she could  get a release from her husband and also the body and the soul  free. Therefore. their attitudes towards her make a contribution to the irony of the story.    The last but not least, her death of the great joy was the most important  irony in the fiction.    Indeed, irony is often used in writing. It not only focus on the themes  but also give more power to perform the character .

After realizing his death, she desired freedom which existed in her inward world. With Mr Mallard unexpected returned, she felt her dream collapsed. Then she died because of the unacceptable despair. What i want to mention is that nobody understood her desire of living for herself.

class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; WORD-BREAK: break-all; mso-pagination: widow-orphan">Mrs Millard got the news that her husband had died in an accident. Ironically, she reacted to the news with excitement. She was finally free from the depressing life she was living. She keeps whispering "Free! Body and soul free!". She was happy because she didn't have to live for anyone but herself. At the end of the story, Mr. Millard opened the door. At the sight of that, Mrs Millard, died of a heart disease. The story ends with a short phrase "of joy that kills". She was to be repressed in her husband's presence once more and this she could not bare. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

But the American wife who can also be called, the girl might feel much loneliness as no others could sense it. Her husband often failed to seek her feelings and he only cared about himself. When his wife said to him that she wanted a cat, she wanted some new clothes, she wanted------.He responded:” Shut up and get something to read.” It seemed that the girl was boring him. In contrast, a hotelkeeper, a stranger could know her thoughts and also treated her as an adult lady. This contrast made the girl felt sadder and more solitary.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan">As far as I'm concerned, the indication of the title is very meaningful. An hour is short for the woman to summarize her miserable life and free from emancipation. But an hour is also long for the woman to experience the sadness, the confusion, the awareness and the emancipation in her mind. As I read it first, I couldn't figure out the hint. Until I finished it, I realized that the deepness of the title. It describes the process of the story, and it also concludes the miserable fate of a liberty wanting woman. That's terrific!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 29.75pt">“The story of an hour” by Kate Chopin, was a story about a woman named Mrs. Millard. When she was told the news of her husband’s death, she locked herself in her room and from the window she found so many freedoms she didn’t enjoy and care before. Then she hoped to be free and reborn. When her husbands returned by the wrong news of the accident, she was killed by the joy and a sense of liberation. In this story, the author used some literary elements, such as similes, irony, and personification. These elements make readers feel the emotion of the character well. From this story, I understand that sometimes when we would lose something, we just found its fine place. However, it’s always too late for us.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Kate Chopin’s short story, “The Story of an Hour” happened in the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

ffice:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region></st1:place> in the late 1800s.At that time, women’s social position was pretty low. Unsatisfied with the current situation, Kate Chopin, the author of “The Story of an Hour”, often wrote stories about women in a way that was considered inappropriate in relation to this century’s strict views upon marriage, sexual liberation and so on. In “The Story of an Hour” the subject can be women’s position in marriage in the late <st1:chmetcnv w:st="on" TCSC="0" NumberType="1" Negative="False" HasSpace="False" SourceValue="1800" UnitName="’">1800’</st1:chmetcnv>s, and Kate Chopin may in some way represent herself through the heroine’s voice. Her views upon marriage as an institution and the unfair and oppressive position women dealt with then might be the theme. The story happens in the same house, which is the cage confining Mrs. Mallard. And the whole article focuses on the philosophic change of Mrs. Mallard, from sorrow to joy out of freedom. However, her dream is cracked into pieces by the return of Mr. Mallard. The end announces the equality between men and women can’t be achieved.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

She knew what she had been waited for a long time has come but she didn’t know what it was and didn’t know what to do for a moment. When she found it was “freedom” what she had been longed for “the vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes.” She felt her life was in her own hands and her own life now just begun and her future was full of hope. As a woman her will and ability has been repressed by her husband and the society for many years. What’s more she was imposed to accept other’s will, her ego was repressed. But after her husband’s death she was free. In the story she kept whispering “Free! Body and soul free.” But when she wanted to celebrate this she found her husband was alive without any injure. Her dream broke and died. The doctor said she was dead of joy but I thought she was killed by the disappointment since her husband didn’t die and she had to lead to life full of repression. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Kate Chopin is very famous feminist writer during 19th century. The Story of an Hour is one of her famous short stories. In it we can already touch her fierce voice of the feminism. The heroine –Mrs. Mallard had died of heart disease” one thing also must be painted out about the use of irony in the end of the story , the doctor said she had died of heart disease ----“of joy that 
kills” Through the whole story we ca summarize that in fact ,she had died of disappointment. So, it can also reflect the superficial of the society.
