Essay on the Selfish Mrs. Mallard in Kate Chopins The Story of an Hour

Selfish Mrs. mallard in The Story of an minute of arc Kate Chopins story, The Story of an Hour, may seem to be about Mrs. Mallards unexpected and ironic reactions to the intelligence service of her economizes previous(p) death due to a railroad disaster. At least thats what I estimate when I read the story. It seemed to me that she led a regulation flavour with a normal marriage. She had a stable home conduct with a kind, loving husband who cared for her. She seemed to love him, some prison terms. She had some kind of bosom trouble (Chopin 25) that didnt really affect her physically, until the very end. I thought Mrs. Mallard would have been saddened and filled with ruefulness for an adequate period of time afterwards her spouse died, but her grief passed quickly, and she embraced a new life that she seemed to be content with. Therefore I believe there is unassailable evidence that Mrs. Mallard was an ungrateful woman who did not appreciate her husband or his love for he r. That evidence is found in her selfish look after the death of her husband, Brently Mallard. Mrs. Mallards reaction to the sad news was natural, but her time spent to overcome her melancholy feelings passed too rapidly. either of a sudden she was eager to start her widowed life. Immediately after she heard the sad news of her husbands death, She wept at once, with sudden, frantic abandonment, in her sisters arms (Chopin 25). This is acceptable and understandable to me because I feel that anyone who had just lost his/her spouse would want to be soothe by a close family member. The story then reads, When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one check her (Chopin 25). I found it to be odd that she would just get up and head straight for her room. The t... ...ishness that got its just reward? Work Cited Chopin, Kate. The Story of an Hour.
