Story Of An Hour Response

The short shorty by Kate Chopin, The Story of an Hour means that no one should settle for what they do not want. Nelson Mandela once said, “There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” I believe everyone has the potential to be happy in life, whether they chose to or not.

In the end, she did not know how she would emotionally feel and seemed overwhelmed by happiness that she pasted.
and Mrs. Mallard did not have a happy marriage, because the story says., “And yet she had loved him – sometimes. Often she had not.” This describes how the two did not seem to care for one another. She was someone to do as they are told even though they did not want to do certain activates. “It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.” When I do an undesirable activity it seems to take longer because I keep on pondering what I rather be having fun on other activity that I likes. Mrs. Mallard seems to be a middle aged women that stays at the house to do house work while her husband is out
