Freedom in The Story of An Hour
Kate Chopins The baloney of An time of day is a short tier in which the title refers to the gist of time in which the protagonist, Louise mallard, is told that her married man has died in a force disaster and also finds prohibited that he is alive after all. Mrs. Mallard seems to have involved feelings about her husbands death; at first-year feeling sorrowful and grieving, scarce then she begins to feel a certain liberation. In The Story of An Hour, Chopin uses symbolism, imagination and irony to give a womans reactions to the death of her husband signifying the problems in her marriage.\nThe windowpanepane in Mrs. Mallards room is symbolical of the freedom that she wishes to have. After the parole of her husbands death, Louise grieves as most people do and weeps uncontrollably. Once she is done express emotion she closes herself up in her room, allowing no one to enter, and sits facing the splay window. Through the slack window she sees patches of blue thresh about t hat glint through clouds that had met and piled one to a higher place the other (Chopin par.6). The blue chuck symbolizes her new future - a future of freedom, while the tedious clouds represent her regression. Chopin uses this symbolism/ resourcefulness to represent Louise Mallards conflicting emotions of grief and apply for freedom.\nIn paragraph viii where the storyteller describes Mrs. Mallard, she is described as young but shows signs of repression with a far apart stare. The imagery of the dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky shows readers that Mrs. Mallard is not stare out the window blankly because she is mourning, but because she is hoping and wishing for freedom. When Josephine, her sister, begs her to open the door for fear of Louise fashioning herself ill, Louise tells her to go away and the narrator explains that she wasnt making herself ill. She was truly drinking in a very elixir of life through th at open window (Chopin par.18)...
