Many people have their own definition of what the term freedom means. If you type in the word freedom into google the definition that will come up is “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” If you were to ask me my own definition of freedom I would sum it up and say when you’re not tied down to anybody or anything and you get to do whatever you want whenever you want without any repercussions. An example would be if you are in a marriage, of course you have to consider the other person’s thoughts and feelings. But say you want to go out with your girlfriends and have a good night out.

Mallard who is a young woman who is married to Brently Mallard who works at the railroad. At the time women were not allowed anything in the marriage without the husbands’ permission. The men ran everything and had a say so on everything that goes on. So of course in the story they are not going to say but Mrs. Mallard had restrictions and was controlled by her husband. The first reason why Mrs. Mallard is driven by freedom is because she has so many restrictions. In the story paragraph 3 second to last line it reads “When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone.” If you re-read the line it says she goes to her room. Normally when people are married they sleep in the same room and the same bed. That’s how marriages are portrayed on T.V. and that how we people in society base it. So when you automatically hear or see that two married couples don’t sleep together in the same bed better yet even in the same room you automatically think something is up. So in the story Mrs. Mallard does not sleep in the same room as her husband it seems that he was controlling and had restrictions. You can always see in the story that there is no mention of her having a job. In that time period men had a say so. So to me I feel that her husband was controlling her because he knew that she was not going to go anywhere and he made her sleep in a separate room, but still expected her to do the wife
