1. The Story of an Hour
2. Kate Chopin
“she knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead.But she saw beyond thatbetter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms welcome them in welcome”
3. In this passage we see that Ms. Mullard is sadden by the death of her husband and feels sad to see him dead butall though she is feeling sorrow she is also seeing a new beginning to her new life. Ms. Mullard felt free at last with the joy that she will live for herself . She felt like she has gain her own identity back to truly be herself.
4. It connects to the larger issue of the text because KAte Chopin created this story to show the lack of freedom married women encounter during this period of time. It shows the urge of freedom that these women needed but couldn’t have because they belonged to their husband well at least that’s what theythought. They weren’t independent to live their own life and to live for themselves like Ms. Mullarexplains after finding out of the death of her husband.this also shows that many of the married women were unhappy and deep down inside felt the need to actually be free.
