Literature Analysis
An example shows Louise Mallard was over confident, and no tasks were too tough to handle. In addition to caring for several children, which isn’t an easy task as a single parent. It can have it’s benefits to be independent, but these days it takes both parents to raise a family. The male dominance of Louise’s husband has always imitated her, and Louise felt distant with her husband. When her husband was no longer going to be around going by the news, Louise now felt more in charge of her world. The symbols used in the story, clouds, and sky played a role as Louise sat comfortably in her armchair. Moreover, the armchair where Louise can get away from it all to grieve
also played a role.
The way someone might react quickly before all the facts are in place seem dated. Furthermore, we as individuals don’t deal with situations as well as we should. Moving on the events in the story told us Louise’s mental state was a crisis she had to deal with, and in time overcome. The examples of foreshadowing present illness/health issues of Louise in the beginning, and the news of Louise’s husband being in a train wreck.
In conclusion, to a few themes which appeared in the story was the upsetting news that was presented to Louise put her in a depression. Now in her mind, Louise can be free, and independent with no one to answer to. Louise now thought all decisions, and power were hers with no male influence to get in her way. In ending, I can state to never react til you get all the true facts, because the pain, and stress can take a toll on your overall health.
