Mallard faces conflicting emotions of grief at her husband’s death and exultation at the prospects for freedom in the remainder of her life. The latter emotion eventually takes precedence in her thoughts. As with many successful short stories‚ however‚ the story does not end peacefully at this point but instead creates a climactic twist.
