Story Of An Hour Climax Analysis
My favorite fictional short story from this unit would be “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin. I found it to be very intriguing how Chopin was able to capture the readers’ interest at the exposition and keep it stable until the exciting climax was presented.

Looking back at this story, I noticed how easy it was to overlook the happiness created at the part of the story when Louise Mallard was beginning to recover from the terrible news she had received at the exposition. I appreciated that part of the story the most, because even though she had been told that her husband had died, she still had the ability to consider other positive thoughts and could allow herself to look forward to life. Most characters wouldn’t be able to handle the news of the death of someone they knew and loved because they would start to feel depressed and believe that they couldn’t be happy anymore. Also, the story has a large impact on readers over a short period of time. I enjoyed reading a story like that because it shows readers that whether the story is long or short, skillful writers like Chopin are able to present the story with the same effect and allow the readers to feel satisfied and enjoy the story from every intense event that takes place. In conclusion, I valued “The Story of an Hour” the most because it tells a great and unpredictable tale and is written
