In The Ending Of A Story Of An Hour R

In the ending of Kate Chopin’s short story “The story of an hour” the southern belle Mrs. Mallard dies of a chock when she realizes that her new freedom is taken away from her. The desire for liberty overcomes her when she first thought that her loving - but most likely dominating - husband Richard got killed in an accident. All her life, she has lived a comfortable and secure life with Richard as her provider, which is symbolized with the armchair she sits down in on the first page “…a comfortable roomy armchair. Into this she sank”. It is hard for her get up and stands up against society. At that time all women were being suppressed, and if you weren't married, you did not have a chance. But for Mrs. Mallard the freedom and the opportunity to make your own choices have more importance than love. This is very ironical because at the end when she has become this Goddess of Victory with strength to go out and conquer the world, the doctor presumes that she has been overcome with joy that kills, the moment she sees her husband enter the house. In that way the author uses ambiguity because of how the reader actually knows that the reason of her death is not happiness, but in fact the exact opposite.
