    “Effort it is,- to dress and entertain.” Louise reacts differently but overall similar in reason to the affects of her husband's ‘death’, “dull stare in her eyes”, shows her lack of meaning now that her role of wife is terminated. The two stories try to convince us that personal ambitions are shied upon over the favour of their constricting roles. Originally Louise fights feelings of happiness knowing it to be wrong and monstrous to consider, like how the wife in the Yellow Wallpaper refused to help herself in favour of satisfying her husband. “Recognize this thing- beat it back” (SH).…

    Life is weird sometimes; you get messy, make mistakes, and things happen that are totally out of your control. In a way, you could say that our lives are like stories or plots in a book. To give you an example, I'm going to discuss two stories: “The Interlopers” ( written by Saki), and “The Story of an Hour” (written by Kate Chopin). Although these are both two different stories, I believe that they have some similar themes. In the short story “The Interlopers”, two families have made a mistake that turns into a full-blown feud between their families; their descendants can't change their history.…

    However when you view things from Ms. Mallard’s side of the door you might find things are playing out a little differently than Richard and Josephine might think. When you begin to read and you see things from Ms. Mallards point of view you might believe that the others were correct about Louise. You first see the scene Josephine also witnessed, Ms. Mallard “did not hear the story as many woman have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance.
