In doing this‚ the reader quickly learns to look at all sides of a story before jumping to false conclusions.

It is undeniable that Mrs. Mallard is oppressed by her husband and society. This is revealed to us soon after Mrs. Mallard receives the news of her husband’s death.

She refuses to conform to societal norms in the hopes of achieving a fulfilling life. From the feminist critical perspective‚ I interpret this story as a depiction of women in a male-dominated society who progress from blind subjugation to realization‚ resulting in the desire for their daughters to accomplish the things they could not. The mother’s
