“The Story of an Hour” is a short story written by Kate Chopin. In this story‚ there are a lot of symbols. They range from as little as an open window‚ to as big as heart disease. Symbols can be very crucial to literature‚ and the story’s meaning. The symbols in this story are very interesting to me. I do not think the story would be as meaningful as it is if they were not included. When Mrs. Mallard first goes up to her room‚ she is described as being‚ “pressed down by a physical exhaustion that
