The Story Of An Hour

In the text "The Story of an Hour", Louise's true feelings for her husband became evident when she went to her room to be alone. When Louise found out by her sister that her husband had been killed in a railroad accident, she began to weep. The way she reacted at first is the way I would expect for a grieving wife to react. Louise did not want to be comforted by her sister so she went to her room to be alone. I think the passing of her husband was both sadness and a release from an unhappy marriage. So if she was truly mourning his death she wouldn't feel free. I feel that her feelings about her husbands death is being expressed by her looking out the window. She is looking forward to having a long life. Instead of being sad, Louise is happy
