Realism. A Story of an Hour.

In the book A Story of an Hour there is a wife Mrs. Mallard who has just found out that her husband had been killed in a train wreck. Her sister had to tell her becuase they were scared she would have trouble taking the news with her bad heart problem. When Mrs. Mallard finds out about her husbands death she goes into her room and starts to thing of life after her husbands death. At first she seems to be sad and unsure of life after his death, but then she can't help but think "She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free!" So even though she's sad she kind've feels realived because now she can live for herself and not someone else. Once she calms herself she goes back into the living room and when she walks in the room her husband walks through the door, it turned out he wasn't even near the accident. Being so shocked she fell down and died.

I think what problem Kate Chopin was trying to solve witht his piece of literature is that wemon should live for themselves and not for there men. Instead of worrying their whole live away about others wemon should try to nurture themselves the way the nurture others.
