Irony in “The Story of an Hour” Irony allows the author to engage and surprise the reader‚ which often also teaches an important lesson. The definition of irony is “using words to imply the opposite of what they are normally mean.” The reader can observe many instances of irony from “The Story of an Hour.” In the short story‚ Louise Mallard’s weak heart undergoes big transformations within a very short time by three different types of irony: situational irony‚ verbal irony‚ and dramatic irony.

Like men‚ women have always played a specific role in society. Depending on the perspective of the viewer‚ one may say that the role woman have should change dramatically.

Free A Doll's House Henrik Ibsen Feminism
A Doll House by Henrik Ibsen is a play about a woman named Nora who devoted everything to the men in her life.Written in the late 1800s‚ Ibsen wanted to shock his audience with an “unconventional” woman who took out loans and left her family but in today’s society I think it tells a different story.
