With his fairy stories‚ Oscar Wilde has fused a traditional literary form with contemporary social issues. His stories use evocative

The Story of an Hour is very brief and‚ as seen from the title‚ only spans the length of an hour. It describes how Louise Mallard reacts to the death of her husband‚ who died in a train accident. From the news of the husband’s passing in the beginning‚ I expected this story to be about how Louise Mallard was so devastated about this news that she decided to end her life. I based my expectations on the time period this story was written in‚ as many women in that time had to rely entirely on their
