The Story of an Hour has many turning points. From the beginning we were told that Mrs. Mallard has heart trouble. From that point on I knew that this would be a major part to when the rising action comes along in the story. The story has a repeating climax and falling action. At first the climax is where Mrs. Mallard is told that her husband had died in a railroad accident. To reassure Mr. Mallard had passed away, she was told he was the first one on the list. I was in when Mrs. Mallard’s heart problems didn’t give her a problem. Instead she went in her room crying and weeping. The setting was spring. That is where slowly she came to realize that she is now free. She has no one and she is able to do anything without any ones permission. As a reader I thought this was the end of the story. I came to realize that when the story was being told and the part that where someone was trying to open the door I came to realize this is another turning point. When the door had opened it was Mr. Mallard. He happened to not even know about the accident. This is where the falling action takes place. Mrs. Mallard saw Mr. Mallard alive and went through a shock & had died. Her heart problems took its part. They said joy that kills, but was it really joy that Mrs. Mallard died from?  new_doc
