How Do People Act In The Story Of An Hour By Kate Chopin

People can really act. Even when they don’t know or even want to. Sometimes people act like what they think is normal and completely ignore the unhappiness they may feel inside, if they even know it’s there. People as a rule just don’t like doing things that make them uncomfortable. If there’s an easier way to do things, that’s what they’ll do. Going against the grain just isn’t what we have at the top of the list. In the short story “The Story of An Hour” by Kate Chopin, Mrs. Louise Mallard acted like she had loved her husband, and she acted really well. She acted to the point where she didn’t even realize that she wasn’t happy with Brently until she was told that he had died. She learns that she has the rest of her life to do as she pleases without being tied down by her husband, and she is excited. “Her fancy was runnin riot along those days ahead of her, Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.” (2). Louise thought so recently that if she lived long, she would suffer, now a day later, she is rejoicing at the idea of good health and long years. I’ve had a relationship end in a way like this. Not with a dead person, but you know, I felt better afterwards.

I would’ve known that he was abusive and I wouldn’t have had to cry to my mother about him five different times in two
