How Does Kate Chopin Use Dramatic Irony In The Story Of An Hour

In the short story “The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin, Chopin uses dramatic irony to demonstrates that Oppressors have a right to live in peace while the oppressed are to be controlled because the oppressors need them. After discovering her Husband’s death Louise locks herself in her bathroom. She thinks about the future for herself and what life will be like without her husband, and she bursts with happiness after realizing that her future will be much more jolly and free without him controlling her. But after Louise’s husband opens the front door and she sees him again, Louise dies, and “when the doctors come they say she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills” (Chopin 2). But it wasn’t from joy it was from anger, the exact opposite.
